Tennis Official Certification

Howdy Ags!
 
Here's a message from Michelle Walker about Officials School taking place this upcoming Saturday, January 16th.  If you are in town, you are more than welcome to attend.  Once certified you can be paid $12.50 an hour to officiate at USTA tournaments.  After certification, you will have at least 6 opportunities in Bryan/College Station during the upcoming year, and you will also be certified to officiate when you go back home.  This is a great opportunity, and it only takes one of certification!
 
Hi all,

We are excited that you are planning to come to the Officials School in College Station. The school will be Saturday, January 16 in the Players' Lounge at the George Mitchell Tennis Center, Texas A&M University. 

The pre-tests are now available at the following website: http://www.usta.com/GetInvolved/Officials.aspx. All officials, new and old, must complete the USTA portion of the on line exams and then the other tests if you desire that certification as well.   All tests are open book and are based on information found in the 2009 edition of Friend at Court. For those who do not have a copy of Friend at Court, it is available on-line in the same location as above. Please note that each of the tests has an answer sheet which you must fill out and bring to class with you.

We have 6 new officials joining us this year so our schedule for the day will be as follows:

8  a.m.       New officials and officials with less than 3 years experience
10  a.m.     Re-certification for all officials (USTA portion)
2 p.m.        ITA certification
4 p.m.        Referee certification

We will have a working lunch and try to finish as early as possible. Because our school is only one day we will not have any on court training.

If you have questions or concerns please let me know; otherwise we will see you soon! I will be out of town January 6-12 but will be checking email and will be available by cell phone as well.
