Regional Referee Certification Course

January 2, 2007

Please be advised of a Regional Referee Certification Course being hosted by Titans Water Polo the first week of January. Todd Bealor will be the Facilitator.

This course is open to individuals born in 1991 or earlier, who have a good understanding of the FINA rules of water polo. Regionally certified referees are able to referee any games/scrimmages up to, but not including, the provincial level (Provincial certification courses are offered annually by Ontario Water Polo). Once certified, candidates would have a great opportunity to make some cash refereeing local tournaments and games. Youth and second-year Cadet athletes, as well as Titans coaches, are encouraged to take this course.

The CLASSROOM session will be Tuesday, January 2, 5-8 pm at Nepean Sportsplex, in the Water Safety Room (Go into the pool area. Walk down to the shallow end of the pool as if you were going to the change rooms. Instead of turning into the changerooms, go down the stairs to the large room, which is the Water Safety Room. Please- no street shoes on the pool deck).

As well as successfully writing the open book TEST, candidates are required to have at least two successful PRACTICAL evaluations by the Facilitator in order to become Regionally Certified. We are offering a number of opportunities for candidates to complete their practical evaluations :

COST is $50 per person, payable by cheque to Titans Water Polo (fee is waived for Titans competitive coaches), which can be brought to the classroom session.  Course fee includes classroom and practical training, evaluation, binder of material and whistle. Pre-registration is requested so we can ensure we have sufficient course material.
