IAABO ref schools

[RefCT]

I went to two within the first couple years I was officiating. I wouldn't recommend them to people that have been officiating for more than 3 or 4 years. In my experience, some boards and states use them as their training grounds and you could get stuck with partners that take most of the attention of the staff because they are very inexperienced. The on-the-court play was not very good at my camps and the camp director wouldn't do anything to penalize unsporting behavior.

The classroom stuff was great and if you end up with a partner that is beyond the basics, the feedback was good.

If you have been officiating 5 years or more (and are moving up), or are doing higher level JV or any Varsity games, the camp may be too basic for you.
