To all those who wish to become new intramural referees:

Training consists of two parts: a 2-hour instructional clinic and an on-field observation session. Both parts must be completed if one wishes to become a referee. 

The first part, the instructional clinic, will be held:

Wednesday, April 1, from 5-7 PM, at Oak Hill Middle School (exact room # will be posted on the outer doors of the school).

The second part, the observation session, involves watching and asking questions of an experienced referee as he works a second and/or third grade game. Opportunities for an observation will take place the first 2 weeks of the season – Saturday afternoons April 11 and April 18. Exact times and locations are not known yet, but are expected to be in the noon-5PM range. You should plan on spending about an hour and a half at one of these sessions so that you can watch one full game, from pre-game through to post-game.

We are only able to accommodate a limited number of students. If you are interested in attending, you must email Jeff Brenner (). Please note both the name of the prospective referee and a phone number where the family can be reached. Jeff will conduct brief phone interviews in order to answer questions and assess your general level of availability. He will then notify you as soon as possible of your ‘acceptance’ (or non-acceptance) and provide additional details for those who will be invited to the April 1 clinic.
