The National Association of Sports Officials is an association which increases an official’s awareness for all components of his sport. Referee Magazine is sent to your home as a perk of the joing fee. News clips, rule changes, interpretations, briefs and much more are all available for viewing and reading on their website. A yearly convention allows you to meet other officials, some of worldy renown, at breakfast or luncheon meetings, seminars and lectures where ideas are exchanged and cultivated. A small reward of meeting these officials from across the country is the bonding which takes place, and then the possible scheduling assignments coming from assignors across the country to such events as the Fireworks Tournament in Colorado or the Bobby Sox Tournament in California. Another exciting event is exchanging association patches and insignia from these same officials. Makes for a real nice collection. Finally, joing NASO gives an official an all around, any sport, source of immediate information on any topic. Phone numbers are available, links on the website for questions are available and an official has a real feeling of "belonging". Consider joing NASO today for an experience which will move you both forward, and up! www.naso.org
Umpire School In Full Swing The NJBUA is conducting cadet classes for membership into our Association. Males and females interested in the classes should call Rich Luongo for more information. Classes are held on Wednesday evenings at Eastern High School, Voorhees, NJ | |
Starting in January NJBUA holds a weekly training class. It is an eight week course that covers everything from classroom studies to on field mechanics. When the weather allows, we also take our cadets out to umpire a high school game. Our instructors are actually side by side with you and help you each step of the way. Upon completion of this course, you are then ready to become an official NJBUA umpire. We continue our training with regular organizational meetings held throughout the season. Not only is umpiring fun, but it is also a great activity to help keep you in shape. Oh yes, it can also pad your pockets with some additional spending cash. To find out more about becoming an NJBUA official, contact one of our officers by their listed e-mail address.
