Annual Report South Shore NSB0

 
The South Shore registered 27 members  this past fall. Darren Dahl held a three night refereeing clinic for 6 new officials.
Recruitment and retention of new officials continues to be an issue in our area. Dave Winaut was elected our new area assignor and did a great job assigning more games to our less experienced officials. Especially our female officials. We intend to promote a buddy system to enhance the advancement of our younger members.
Barry Crozier acted as our Area Evaluator and several officials received evaluations with one member receiving his Level 1 status. 
Roger Caulfield presented a well attended clinic to our members in the fall on mechanics and rule interpretation.
Thanks to Roger and we hope to have him back in 2007.
Our officials did a great job controlling the game on and off the court. Three spectators were ejected from games and one coach was ejected. This coach received an additional suspension from the NSSAF for verbal abuse of officials.
Two of our officials worked NSSAF Provincial Tournaments. Jeff Nodding worked the final of the Div. 3 in Shelburne. Darren Dahl worked a semi at the Div.1 boys . Both received positive evaluations and Darren has reached the Level 2 status.
We had hoped to stage a end of the year Golf day/BBQ on May 19 but the weather did not cooperate. We have rescheduled for the early fall.
