TENTATIVE 2009 OFFICIALS
CLINICS
Swim officials are a critical element of any fair, well-run meet.
The association relies on member clubs’ PASDA-trained parents
to supplement the numbers of certified USA Swimming- and YMCA-certified
officials working in the association.
In support of the above, Jeffrey Mace (PASDA’s Official’s Chairman),
with the assistance of Ed Fago (as needed), will again be running
a series of officials clinics for PASDA’s membership before the
start of next season. Following is information on these
clinics:
·
Saturday, June 13, 9:00 a.m., Nassau Swim Club, Princeton Township
·
Saturday, June 20, 9:00 a.m., Hopewell Valley Golf Club, Hopewell
Township
·
DATE AND TIME TBA, Penn Brook Swim Club, Pennington
·
DATE AND TIME TBA, Country Pool, Chesterfield Township
Please note that this information is tentative. A
finalized schedule will be posted on this website when these dates
and times are confirmed at the May 2009 general membership meeting.
PASDA encourages EVERY CLUB to send at least one representative
if not more (see “Note” below) to one of these clinics.
It’s not too early to target potentially interested individuals
to send to next year’s clinics.
NOTE:
At the 2009 swimming championships, PASDA intends to strictly
enforce the requirement that each club will have on deck during
each session a number of officials equal to the maximum
number of relay teams entered for any single relay event during
that session.
For example, if Ravine has three relay teams entered in the Girls
14-and-Under Freestyle Relay but has only one relay team (or none)
entered in all of the other relays in the 14-/17-and-Under session,
then Ravine must furnish three officials for that entire
session.
Each clinic runs about two hours. Swimming or officiating
experience is NOT required, nor is a reservation – just show up!
Directions to the host pools can be found on the PASDA website
on the
Directions to Club Pools
page.
