Referee Clinic for Athletes Refereeing ILWP/ Academy and Recreational House League
 
As part of competitive registration, ALL AA and AAA athletes are required to volunteer as referees in either the ILWP/ Academy or Recreational House League Games. Many of you have already signed up for this. We promised that we would provide some a referee clinic for you, and we now have these scheduled. You have a choice of two clinics, as follows:
 
- Sunday, October 5, 3;30-5:30pm at Nepean Sportsplex in Hall E or
- Sunday, October 19, 3:30-5:30pm at Nepean Sportsplex in Hall E
 
To register, please e-mail General Manager Deanna Barry at INFO@titanswaterpolo.ca, and indicate which session you will be participating in.

All participants will be provided with a whistle, a copy of FINA rules, and a copy of the ILWP adapted rules.
There is no cost to participants (paid for by our CIAF grant) and the clinics will be faciliated by Titans Coach Celso Rojas.
 
Parents are welcome to participate (including parents of ILWP/ Academy/ Rec House League athletes).
