Just a quick shout out from the JB Caldwell Camp in Daytona Beach Florida. I am a JV guy from Ohio and decided to invest some time to try to improve. I have some advice for 1, 2 and 3 year guys like myself.

Find out more about this camp and get here next year. I already told JB I will be back.

Hands down the best time / money investment I have ever spent on my officiating career. And it wasnt all that expensive!

Bottom Line....get here.

What about that camp?
What is so special about that camp?

Is it a camp with college evaluators or assignors?

Just tell us more about what the camp is all about?

Peace

Well from my perspective I was given a chance to work Varsity level games with instructors on the sidelines helping us during time outs and quarters. The staff included plenty of college refs that know their stuff and are great coaches.

For my session....student to coach ratio....2-1. So for 33 guys we had 15 guys helping us get better. I believe the weekend session will be closer to about 3-1.

Is this a rule camp no. Is this a "get seen" camp...not really. Is this a camp that teaches 3-man mechs, game and clock management. Absolutely. And the schedule wasnt too bad either. I worked 13 games in 5 days.

The best part....every single instructor was there to improve officiating and to help us learn more about working a game.

Bottom Line.....I highly recommend this camp.

Ok, Larks, glad you got a lot out of it. What other camps have you attended and how did this one compare?

Havent been to others yet so I dont know. I can only give my opinion here that I learned a lot. I'm a 3rd year guy and for me, this was just what I needed to get better. Am I ready for D1 tomorrow....no way. Not even close. Am I better and will I be better this season....absolutely.

The point of my original message is that I recommend this camp. I am a nobody from Ohio so take my recommendation for what its worth. But I promise you that if you came, especially if you are like me and are hungry to learn...you will leave a better official.

Question 3 Person.
Lark,

Do you do 3 Person in Ohio or is this one of your first experiences?

Peace

Ohio is 2-man thru JV, 3-man for varsity if there are enough officials to cover it. In Cincinnati, that is all the time - boys and girls.

I can only do 2-man in Ohio until the end of this coming season. Then I am eligible to take the Ohio class 1 test and if I pass, work varsity if my assignors think I am ready.

To answer your question, I have just learned 3-man this summer. Between the NKU team camp (not much teaching), the Mt. St. Joseph team Camp (no teaching at all) and the JB Caldwell / Embry Riddle Camp (lots of teaching), I have worked about thirty 3-man varsity boys games this summer.

I will say this...now that I have worked some 3-man...I am spoiled. I'm looking forward to the day when most of my schedule will be 3-man.

Lark-
Why do you say you are spoiled now that you have done three man? Does it mean that you can be lazier? Or that you do not have to make sure you watch as much, since there are more eyes? Just wondering!

Lazy??? Do you even know me. Man, I am suddenly sorry I started this post.

Of course more eyes = better officiating.

It was a joke
Lark,

He was making a joke. He was just giving you some crap. That is why the smiley face ( ) was there.

We have fun like that sometimes here.

Peace

I hope you did not have the hot a$$ gym like we had. We might as well played outside. And the floor was staying extremely wet and the ball. Other than that, good ball.

Peace

Camp was at Embry Riddle Aeronautical Univ. 1 College floor, 2 high school floors all under one roof. All AC. Very nice from the aspect. Outside = 95 degrees and humid. Inside....70, cool and dry.

Larks - AC is the fat guy's friend!
