USATF Officials Apprentice Level Training Clinics

APPRENTICE CLINICS  (for new officials)

USATF Colorado has scheduled training / certification clinics for track & field officials.  We have about 90 certified officials in Colorado, but we’re always in need of individuals to help us conduct competitions for track & field athletes, so you’re invited to join us.  Clinic dates and locations are indicated below.  
 
These clinics are designed for new officials or someone who may need a refresher on the basics.  Our clinicians are Master level officials who have national and world championship experience.  

To attend the clinic you must be 16 years or older (note: only individuals 18 years and older are eligible to become a certified official).

We’ll review officiating techniques, rules, and safety issues in a 90 minute classroom presentation & discussion.  Following that, we’ll be on the track for 2 hours as we conduct practical demonstrations in most of the track (clerking and umpiring) and field (horizontals, verticals, and throws) disciplines.
 
Clinic attendance is one of the requirements to become a USATF certified official.  However, anyone who is interested may attend the clinic to pick up tips and to hone their officiating skills – whether or not they wish to become certified.  
 
If you can join us, please email Marty Johnson at the address below to confirm the date you select.  We’ll reply with an email containing details about the clinic and directions to the location.
