Moving to Florida

I am moving to Tampa, FL in the fall and would like to continue my refereeing career when I get down there. That means attending a couple camps this summer, but I don't know conferences, coordinators or available camps in that area. Can someone help me out? I am interested in men's JUCO, D3 and D2.

I will also continue to do HS, so if someone has any contacts in the Tampa Bay area, I am interested in that as well.

Okay, so I've read that JB Caldwell's camp is a good one. Any other Men's D2, D3 or JuCo camps worth attending in central Florida?

I know of the Sunshine State Conference, but what other conferences support central Florida schools?

It took you nine months to respond!?!?! What were you doing - having a baby on a fishing boat?

I decided to take last year off. After listening to stories from my friends all season, I can't wait to get back on the court.

You must have a persecution complex.

Irpalmer, I too have heard JB's camp is very good and well worth the money to attend. I'll be heading up there this summer for the first time myself.

I want to say there is a camp at Rollins College in Orlando every year sometime late in the summer, but I'm not 100% sure about that and will have to ask around.

JB's camp is great and the clinicians are usually some of JB's co-officials in the SEC, Big 12, etc. NBA ref Eric Lewis usually attends and got his start at JB's camp. If you're moving to Florida and want to officiate in the Sunshine and Mid-FL JUCO, going to JB's camp can get you seen and hired. His camp provides many opportunities as I was able to go to an SEC Identification camp because of my work at JB's camp. (Sam Brown is JB's assistant and the one who basically assigns the games. He's the one who watched me and picked me up when Dave Jones had the leagues that JB has now.)

Tony McDonald still assigns the NAIA stuff (I think) and I believe there are a few JUCO leagues assigned by other folks (Panhandle and South Florida). Tony has a camp that some here have already mentioned and he's a great guy as well.

I miss living in Florida because it's a great state to move up and move up quickly.

Check out JB Caldwell's camp over in Daytona. He's a D2 supervisor down there (Sunshine State I believe).

As for Tampa specifically, I dont know but JB or Camille would be able to tell you who to call on.

Best bet for HS Assns. would be to contact the FHSAA FHSAA.org: Florida High School Athletic Associationand http://www.becomeanofficial.org/ to find out which local assns. assign for that area and contact them directly. Here are a couple.

http://mypar.net/ for St. Pete/Clearwater

and

http://www.wcoafla.org/ for Tampa

Good luck with the move. ( Don't forget the sunscreen and plywood )

You mean you have to bring your own wood to smack coaches with? We don't have that problem here in Oregon. There's plenty of trees. We just grab any nearby branch.

I've been to Portland. You don't need sunscreen either.
