OFFICIALS CORNERZebra Zone Article #16 – June 1, 2010 By Terry J. Eiter One of the most important items at our season ending meetings that I look forward to is the question: “What can we do individually and as a Association to get better?” It consumes more and more time each year with more members getting involved about we should progress. It brings the good out in people and shows how passionate some are about this profession. That being said, Minnesota officials have two unique opportunities this summer to improve themselves – both right here in Minnesota. Information below is provided from the MSHSL web site. Join us in what will be the largest and most special officiating event to ever be held in Minnesota! On July 24, 2010, the Minnesota State High School League will be hosting “Officiate Minnesota,” as a kick-off to the 2010 National Association of Sports Officials National Summit, being held in Minneapolis July 25-27. The Conference will be held at the Marriott City Center Hotel in Minneapolis. The Minnesota State High School League is proud to be the premier sponsor to this year’s National Summit. As the sponsor, we have the unique opportunity to host a special conference for Sports Officials. What will make this event special is the opportunity to draw upon the expertise of not only experts in the officiating profession from Minnesota, but also from those across the country who will be in attendance at the NASO Summit. There will be six sessions throughout the day. Each session will have both sport specific and general sessions. Every sport will have one or two break-out sessions specific to that sport. Officials will have the option to attend any of these sessions, or any of the general sessions that will also be offered. The Conference will conclude with a general session featuring Jerry Markbreit, former NFL and four-time Super Bowl Referee. More specific information on these sessions can be found on the website. Register online! The clinic is free to all MSHSL Registered Officials and $20 for non-registered officials. All we ask is that when you register you are making a commitment to attending this event. Space is limited, and we anticipate a “sell-out,” so your commitment is critical. Check out the website for more specific information: www.mshsl.org Take advantage of what promises to be a once in a career opportunity! We look forward to seeing you at the Marriott in July! Another opportunity this summer the National Association of Sports Officials will be hosting an exceptional opportunity for all officials. The Summit, entitled “Rights, Responsibilities & Risks”, focuses on topics designed specifically for leaders of state high school officiating programs, local association officers, supervisors and coordinators, assigners, conference administrators and sports officials at all levels – from around the country and the world.
