lrpalmer3 Originally posted by refTN 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.

refTN The IIOC camp starts on June 22nd and I don't know when it ends. It is held on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University (my school, oh yeah).

Larks Originally posted by lrpalmer3 I'm attending Joe DeRosa's camp at Rio Grande, OH June 17-19. I'm looking for another good college 3-man camp that I can drive to ( <5 hrs ). I'm in Columbus, OH. Derosa is not having camp at Rio this year. This from an e-mail he sent.... Here is a quick update concerning camps this summer. There will NOT be a camp at Rio Grande this summer. As of this date the only camp we have scheduled will be held at Kent State University on June 17 - 19. With only one camp most likely the session will fill in a short period of time. I will be present at this camp from start to finish with the exception of a prior commitment early on June 18. You can get detailed information about the Kent State camp at: http://www.bluestreakcamps.com/derosabasketball.txp or you can contact Pat Madine to receive a camp information sheet emailed directly to you.

Chess Ref Anyone know of California camps that would be appropriate for 2 year man wanting to learn ?
tomegun Originally posted by jont does anyone know of any men's collegiate camps in California during the summer? Are you looking for Men's or Women's? I don't know about Women's but Charlie Range has a camp in Oakland. It isn't a teaching camp and the competition, among officials, is fierce. I can find out some more depending on what level of camp you want to go to. Hit me with an email.
