The Class Room Sessions give students a chance to listen to and interact with different staff memebers on a wide variety of subjects. Typically, during the opening classroom session we will go throughstaff and student introductions. Following the welcome speech, wedive right into discussions on officiating. Topics include: Floor Positioning, Rotations, Mechanics, Floor Coverage, Expectations of Campers and a question and answer period.Typically each referee will do 2-3 games per day. Each game is observed by at least 1 NBA Referee. The NBA referee observing the game will do much more that watch. They are there to provide immediate feedback and instruction. The feedback is not designed to criticize but to help you improve.After each game the officiating crew will go to a seperate video room to review the game. During the review, an NBA referee will sit with the crew to provide feedback and instruction. Video review is one of the most important aspects to referee development. You will learn how to break down a game tape like the pro's. Additionally, you will be given a DVD to take home with you.Taking notes during the video review will give you an opportunity to provide your own re-fresher course after camp has ended.Break out sessions are designed to examine all aspects of officiating. These sessions are different from Class Room Sessions in that they are smaller groups and much more interactive. Each session can go in a variety of directions. The subjects range from handling coaches to a day in the life of an NBA referee. The sessions are designed to answer ANY questions you have about officiating.
