CAMP UPDATE
For you folks still looking to attend a camp this summer, there's one more coming up.  Check out Marcella Dobbs Best High School Officials Camp at St. Mary's College August 1-3.  After that it's vacation time!!

OBSERVATION & EVALUATION PROGRAM CONTINUES
Just because the high school season has ended doesn't mean the observations and evaluations should end.  There are a number of current Summer leagues that are being worked by our up and coming officials who would welcome the opportunity to be seen by some veterans.  So if you observers happen to come across one of our members on the court, take some time to "check 'em out" and send in an evaluation.  This could help them move to that next level!  NCBOA member observers should still use the above Evaluation Form link page when submitting.  A hard copy evaluation form can also be printed from this link as well as some helpful information and observation guidelines so you'll have a reference point to take notes before submitting.  The Executive Committee uses the evaluations to assist in not only rating officials, but also to help continue the growth and strength of our members and the association as a whole.  If you have any question or need information regarding this program, please contact the coordinator, Ralph Pujolar. 

NCBOA MENTOR PROGRAM 2008-09
The popular Applicant Mentor Program pairs veteran officials with applicant members as mentors to help them improve their game in their quest to become better officials and hopefully future active members of the association.  Check the above link for a complete description of the program.  Jim Wierzba is the Mentor Program coordinator.  If any veteran officials are interested in being a mentor to a younger official or you have more questions about the program, feel free to contact Jim via phone or e-mail.

OFFICIAL RATINGS FOR 2007-08
The assigning subcommittee will be meeting over the summer to determine ratings for each NCBOA member for the purpose of accurate assignments during the 2007-08 season.  There are four categories possible for both girls and boys assignments:

SELECT: Capable of being a Lead Official on any NCBOA assigned game within that gender.
REFEREE: Capable of being a Lead Official on most NCBOA high school varsity games within that gender.
UMPIRE: High School Varsity caliber official within that gender.
NON-VARSITY: Eligible to work all other categories below high school varsity within that gender.

Assignors will refer to these ratings when making their assignments for the high school season.  Current ratings are available for each member wishing to know his/her status.  NCBOA members can obtain their rating by e-mailing Ralph Pujolar.  Phone requests will NOT be acknowledged.  Ratings for the 2007-08 season should be available at the Social in October.
