Special region certification for junior players:
The Hoosier Region offers a special region certification for junior players. This is a region certification only; it will be accepted at Hoosier Region events but not at events in other regions. This certification is good for two years.
Below are links to rating sheets for both Junior R2 certification and Junior Scorekeeping.
We suggest that at least two players from each team in your club be certified. Once the players who are to be certified have received appropriate training, they can take a copy of the rating sheet with them to their next tournament. When it is time for their team to officiate, they can give the rating sheet to the official working that match. That official will then rate them during the match they are working. We will be instructing officials during our region officiating clinics that they are to take the time to rate the junior player.
After the rating has taken place, the official will give the form back to the player. The club director or the coach then needs to send the rating sheet to Terry Sweasy. Please send several at a time. A master list will be kept of all junior players who have been certified.
For this to work, club directors must commit to training players on the proper techniques for R2 officiating and the correct way to keep score. We have developed a presentation (on CD) covering line judging, R2, and scorekeeping that can be purchased for $10. The CD can be used by you to train your players. Contact either Terry Sweasy or Rod Rodriguez to purchase the CD.
You can also hire a certified official to come in and train your players. This would be a contract between you and the official. Neither the Hoosier Region nor the referee and scorekeeper chairs will be involved in this process.
Officiating is a part of the game for junior players. Club directors and coaches must ensure that players are committed to doing a good job when they are required to assist in officiating a match.
