Swim Parents (swimmers please
print or tell your parents),
Have you ever seen a football game without referees?
A baseball game without umpires???
Can you imagine what one of these games would be like without
officials??
What is an official?
Officials - provides fairness for all.
Officials - know the rules and is able to recognize and call
infractions.
“Perks” of being an Official:
You’ll be working with the greatest group of volunteers in
all sports.
You’ll be close to the action. The bleachers aren’t
comfortable anyway!
High satisfaction: low pay.
It’s a great way to meet future Olympians – unless you
already have one in your home
Why become an Official?
· DO it for your
swimmers.
· DO it for and
with your High School.
· IT’S
BETTER than sitting in stand/snack bar,
· BENEFITS of
being an official, gives you a better understanding of the rules to
which swimmers must conform.
· FRIENDSHIPS are
made and kept for a lifetime
High School (and age group) officials are needed for the Farmington
area. As of today, we have two certified officials for high school
(and they no longer have kids in school). We have three age-group
officials (who will be training to become high school officials).
So, we need some parents to come help us officiate. There is
always that possibility that we may not be able to host a meet
because we don’t have enough officials. Please contact
Elodie Larson to sign up or to ask questions (see below). Please
pass this information on to anyone you think might be
interested.
The purpose of this email is to
notify all NMAA swimming officials of the upcoming swimming
district clinics to be held throughout the state at the end of this
month. They are as follows:
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Farmington Aquatic Center
Start Time: 9:00 a.m.
