Lets Go to Camp
Camp questions after completing my 1st year.
1) Better to go to a local camp in my area or one in my part of the country? 2) Better to go to camp where college guys are teaching and evaluating or at my level is that overkill? 3) How many camps should I attend? 4) I only do 2 person at my level and will do so for at least another 2 years beacuse of my JV schedule...When should I start learning 3 person? 5) Any names of great instructors and evaluators, that have helped you become much better? Thanks! |

identify what your goal for attending camp is...i.e. learning 3-man mechanics, improving your schedule, getting varsity level games in your current league, getting hired into a new league by a new assignor, etc.
whatever your goal, you will then be able to identify what camp you should attend. ("i want to get hired by the abc conference assignor - so i should attend the camp that he directs"; "i need to learn 3-man mechanics so that I can get varsity games in my area - then I should go to a teaching camp that focuses on 3-man mechanics"... |

2) Go to a camp geared to the "next level" -- for you, that's V 3) As many as you can 4) It's never to early to start learning that, and camp is (or should be) about more than just 3-person mechanics |

Southern California, eh?
If you're willing to travel, I can recommend two great camps just across the lake from Rut you'd enjoy. You can drive and write off the mileage against your officiating earnings, you know. At the current gov't rate per mile you'd lose enough money on officiating that you won't have to pay any taxes next year, that's for sure.
Hope you find something. And don't hesitate to go to more than one camp during the summer.

Make sure that you select a camp suited for where you are at in your officiating career. Right now, I would concentrate on getting your feet wet on 3 person, and application of rules, where you are supposed to focus, and perfecting your 2 person coverage. There are likely some camps in Southern California to suit your fancy.
I have slated myself for 3 camps this summer, my Texas D2-Junior College Camp, the SAC Camp on Oklahoma, and the Big 12 Camp in Orlando. Have a good summer!

Since you're a Southern California guy like myself, I recommend the Be A Lead family of camps. They're mostly located down here and they have a variety of camps for different officiating skill levels.
Welcome to "Be a Lead" Officiating Camps |

I don't think he even needs to go to camp. Once he gets a Varsity schedule next year he'll be ready for D1 the following season.

Southern CA Camps
Rookie,
I'm new myself, and just moved from CA to the Northwest. A friend who has been officiating games in the San Fernando Valley told me that there is a really legit camp in Santa Barbara each year. He said all levels attend and if you're serious it's a great deal. You'll pay a few hundred bucks, but it should be worth it. They mostly look for college guys, but all level learn. They have NBA officials speak and that sort of thing. LA/SD is a huge area, so you'll have all you need close by. Do we have personal messages on here? If so send me one and I'll connect you with a guy that attended a few camps recently in the SFV. |
