Officials Clinics, What Makes them Good?

[Bob Mc]

Thanks for the information. What I am asking was asked by the State organizer who wanted feedback. Yours will help. Getting opinions from some of you who have attended clinics is invaluable in being able to organize a State-wide clinic that will be beneficial to the attendees. Thank God I don't have to organize, all I have to do is submit opinions on what should be there.

Thanks!

Managing the time is a key aspect of any type of clinic.

Limit off topic discussion
Limit time between sessions
Hold presenters to time limits
Provide timely breaks
Turn cell phones off or to silent mode

Mix up the styles of presenting so that people don't loose interest. Use film, lecture, discussion, on-field activity with general and position specific topics.
