We have increased our basketball ref pool by quite a bit, but could always ues a few more, especially if you think you are (or want to work hard to learn to be) a GOOD ref!  The next clinic is Wednesday, January 20 at 7:00 in Archbold.   ALL new-to-SU Intramural basketball refs (for the '09-10 season) should plan on attending this informative session.  Those who have not attended any of the prior clinics, please stop by the Rec office in 241 Archbold prior to that to pick up a packet of information to review for the clinic.  

Games will resume on Wednesday, January 27.  The next ref schedule will be complied after the 1/20 meeting.  

Have a safe and happy holiday season and winter break.  See you in January ready for some action!!!

Frequently asked questions:

1.  Do I need to be an expert/certified in officiating basketball?  NO.  You need to have a basic understanding of the game, but we will teach you the fundamentals of officiating (that's what the clinic is for!!)

2.  Do I get paid?  YES! $7.35/hour to start.

3.  Do I need Work-Study?  NO.  We like you to have it (saves on the budget), but it is not required for this job.

4.  Can I play and ref?  YES!  We work your reffing schedule around your playing schedule.

5.  Will this conflict with SU home games?  NO.  We do not schedule intramurals on nights that SU plays at home, Super Bowl Sunday, Exam week, Holiday weekends, etc.  You can also tell us other bad times that conflict with YOUR schedule that may not be university wide (like classes, fraternity functions, other jobs, etc.).   

The Intramural Program at SU does not happen without the hard work and dedication of the students who work as referees and supervisors.  We are ALWAYS looking for more refs in all the team sports.  Potential referees need only to know the basics of the game.  We will train you how to be an official.  No experience or certification is necessary (though always welcome!).  Below is the list of sport clinics for Fall 2009.  To be eligible to work a sport, you only need to attend the clinic for that sport and pass a written quiz on the material. 

Basketball - November 10 at 6:00 AND 12, 6:30 PM (Must attend both parts for Basketball!)

All clinics are in Archbold gym (room assignments will be posted when you get to the gym the night of the clinic).

Also, if you have never worked on campus before, you need to complete the federal I-9 employment eligibility form at Student Employment in Steele Hall PRIOR TO WORKING.  To save time and allow us to be able to pay you in a timely manner, please do this prior to the clinic!
