The free camps you just sign up for... Bob Gibbons is definately closed... if you want, i can send the app for the Miss St. camp June4-6, just give me your email.

Thanks, but I am already attending a camp during those dates.

Does anyone else know of any camps, preferably women's mechanics, in Georgia? I would appreciate any info.

Like manhong, I would like info for Bob Gibbons for next year. My e-mail is [email protected].

the "Georgia College"(juco and naia) camp is june17-19 at Brewton-Parker. that is only for the men's side though, i don't know when the women's camp is.

GHSA runs 3 day camps throughout the month of June at various locations in Georgia. I'm attending 6/25 - 6/28 at Albany State. Here is the link to their site:
http://ghsa.net. This may or may not meet your needs but you can always e-mail them with questions.

I'm new to the Georgia area (Columbus). If anyone knows of some other good camps, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

If you want a good "teaching" camp, then check out the five star camp http://www.raytheref.com/FiveStarRefereeCamp.html

you get a lot of good rules info at this one. mostly for the jv and new varsity HS official.

Thanks gte. Too late for this year, but I'll try it next year.

TravelinMan,

What association did you join?

I'm in FLORIDA. Anyone know of any good 3-man camps or clinics this summer in Florida?

Josh

Columbus Officials Association. I've spoken with Ben Elder.
Are you near?

JB Caldwell (SEC) holds a camp at Embry Riddle in Daytona... 3man teaching camp. i forget the dates, but here is the admin person's phone number:Camp Administrator Assistant: Angie Williams (386) 226-6431

Just to throw my two cents in. The IIOC camp for the SEC officiating program in Murfreesboro,TN I have no doubt in my mind is going to be one of the best. From everything I understand it's like bootcamp for refs. There will be a lot of NBA officials there because the SEC uses a modified version of the NBA mechanics. The only thing is you have to be invited, but if you know a guy who knows a guy you could have a reasonable shot at getting in ( that's how I did it). The SEC is interested in finding young officials and training them. That is why in most part they hold this camp.

Sean Corbin who is now in the nba came out of this camp. He was noticed there when he was 19. he was hired by the SEC when he was 22 and was brought on by the nba when he was 26. This camp knows how to find the right guys.

If you plan on wanting to be a ref and do it for a living this is where I suggest you go. Work hard to find someone who can get you in and do it. That is what I did and i now have a great opportunity to fulfill my dream and now have an even better chance at making to the nba

P.s. I threw the Sean Corbin story in there because I, like him will be attending the camp at 19 yrs of age and I hope this is some kind of great carma or whatever it might be

tnroundballref I would like to get your info and also would like to know what assosciation you are in.

I'm looking at the Dale Kelley camp...anyone ever attended?

thanks

I am going to the Dale Kelley camp at U. North Texas in June and the DIII Supercamp in Richomd VA at the end of June. I posted the info on the DIII Supercamp in another thread. This will be my first year at the Dale Kelley camp, but I expect it should be great.

Gerry Pollard runs a camp at Southwest Missouri State (soon to be Missouri State) June 17-19. Gerry's out of the Dale Kelley regime and runs a great camp! Lots of D1 officials on staff that aren't afraid to tell you how it is. All games are 3-whistle and everyone is on a crew of 5. Plenty of court time without abusing the body.

Email me and I'll send you the full info. and Gerry's email address.

I am interested in the Gerry Pollard camp at smsu. Please give me some more information
