Clinics
 

Does anyone know of any good clinics in the Midwest?

Are you looking for HS or College clinics?

What's your version of the Midwest?

Someplace that's in the middle of the West.

If it was in the west of the Middle, then they woulda called it the Westmid.

And, while we're parsing the hell out of this question, what do you consider "good"?

There's a pretty nice clinic around the corner that does a good job if you need stitches.

Do you have health insurance? If not, there's a couple of free clinics you might want to try.

The Mayo Clinic is supposed to be pretty good.

But very spendy.

Unless, as Snaqwells suggested, you have good coverage.

Thanks guys! As a matter of fact I do have good coverage, so that is not going to be an issue. I am not too far from Mayo so I may give that one a try. :D

I didn't want to be one of those guys that posts a stupid question that got "great" :rolleyes: answers, but it appears I have already done that!

I was looking for some officiating clinics for high school officials in Iowa or somewhere around that area. I am not sure that I want to be too specific regarding cities or anything, because I don't want to leave one out that might have one.

What part of Iowa? I'm decently connected in central Iowa. Send me an email at [email protected].

Junker,

email sent. Thanks

BEWARE! Junker is a stalker who preys on young officials he meets through this board! :D

Several officials from Iowa attend Al Ray's Midwest Official's Camp at Illinois College the last weekend in June. It's officially an NCAAW camp, but you'll learn a lot that can be applied at all levels.

The focus is on high school mechanics. We always have a great time. Chuck usually has some pretty good clinicians and they video tape.

Don't be too disheartened. It doesn't take a stupid question to get "great" answers. The only thing that matters is how long it's been since some of the characters here have taken their (our) medicine.
As an old Hawkeye Stater myself, I can tell you there are usually some decent officials' clinics in Des Moines, Ames, and Iowa City.
They won't do much for that rash, but you'll learn some stuff about working basketball. :)

I'm just trying to get some TV time on Dateline. I never get on the news during the off season. :D

Thanks everyone!

I have been able to get some good information, both about basketball and clinics. :)

You might also check with Stanford. They were given a clinic in the 1st round.

Bob,
Where can you get the info on this camp. I googled it and checked the IC website but couldn't find anything. Also, what level is this? RR

but, the date is still from two years ago.

That's a really nice facility. I was there last year for a different camp.

It's a tremendous facility! It's one of the schools my son is considering attending. You don't usually see this kind of thing at a DIII school!
