I went to her camp last year and asked her about working the playoffs. She told me that last year she was an alternate in the first round. She said that she was on about the same time line as the other officials that started when she did and was hoping to get playoff games this year or next year.

It is a huge accomplishment and I am sure she is very proud.

You were at her camp last year? Honestly, one of the best camps I've ever been to. Looks like she's not holding it this year, however. I haven't heard for sure.

A couple years ago, I attended a camp in Orlando and had the distinct pleasure of being observed by Violet. She is an outstanding official and has an outstanding teaching style. I wish her the absolute best, and I couldn't be happier that she is finally working the post-season.

I just got the email. She will not be holding her camp any longer. Truly one of the best camp experiences I've ever had. So good I went twice. The perspectives from the instructors as well as the one on one time breaking down tape enabled me to improve my skills tremendously.
