2010 1st and 2nd Year Officials Training Class
Floor training in basketball officiating is
conducted by Mr. Michael Clayton. Training will be held
on Saturday mornings from 10:00am-noon (August 13-October 8)
at Del City Church of Christ, 1901 Vickie Dr, Del City, OK (map). Floor
training covers positioning on the court, reporting to table, court breakdown,
identification of primary/secondary areas of responsibility, court appearance,
mechanics (NFHS), just to name a few topics. Floor training is considered
an important step to successful officiating. Learning correct mechanics
and floor coverage will help the official look crisp, sharp and in the right
spot to make a call. Becoming familiar with floor mechanics helps the
beginner to be more at-ease once they step on the court to officiate a
basketball game for the very first time. Excellent instruction from one of
the best in the state, take advantage of this opportunity. This class is
taken in conjunction with Academic training.
Academic training in basketball officiating will be conducted by Randy Smith. Referred to as "Rules 101", this training is conducted in a friendly, classroom setting and will be held on Saturday
mornings from 8:00am-10:00am (August 13-October 8) at Del City Church of Christ, 1901 Vickie Dr,

by participating in evaluation scrimmages and basketball situations. This
class is taken in conjunction with Floor training.
