> Ladies and Gents, I hope your fall has gone well. Hopefully, you have had the chance to do some officiating work but if not, at least you are looking ahead to the spring season. I just wanted to fill you in on a few things to keep you informed. First, we have completed contract negotiations with THSLL and LHSLL and reached agreement on them. Fees remain unchanged this year. Most of the discussion for THSLL involved the use of the new web site and transfer of information. They are also working to get the schedules done sooner so that Assignors will have more time to do their jobs. The board and executive committee began monthly conference calls last Wednesday night. We will continue to do these on a monthly basis. The next call is scheduled for December 9th so if you have any issues that you wold like to see addressed please contact your area Governor. The board slate is listed on the web site. One item we discussed on the conference call is training. Each area has training scheduled for new officials and we are encouraging in-season sessions for everyone (much like they do in football) so that current problems or on-field issues can be reviewed. A pretty good resource to hone your officiating skills is laxmagazine.com. The "You Make the Call" series of videos, questions and reviews helps to show how difficult it is for officials to make split second judgment calls. They also show how the level of play can dictate what should be called. What you might pass on at the high school or college level, you should call at the youth level. One last item is the Board approved an out-of-district travel policy which addresses officials from District 8 going to work games or tournaments in other areas. We highly encourage you to seek such opportunities. The policy is to help maintain the high level of respect and admiration that we have across the country. In turn, officials who go through the policy steps will be entitled to a small comaraderie building stipend upon their return. The policy will be posted soon on the SWLOA web site. In the meantime, if you are interested in working out of district talk to you assignor, area governor, or Chief Referee and they can help guide you to the best opportunities. Happy Holidays to all. Tom Fitzsimmons President SWLOA |
