ANNOUNCING THE

SOUTHWEST OHIO SOFTBALL UMPIRES SCHOOL

Sponsored by the
OHIO HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
and the
METRO CINCINNATI AMATEUR SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION.

ONE CINCINNATI SESSION ONLY

March 29 and 30, 2008 at CINCINNATI HILLS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, 11525 Snider Rd. (corner of Snider and Kemper).  Class sessions will be from 8AM to 5PM and include instruction in OHSAA and ASA rules as well as umpire mechanics.  This is a classroom and participation school designed to help new umpires learn as quickly as possible.  Wear comfortable clothes and gym shoes.  The OHSAA examination will be offered after the conclusion of the school. 

Cost
Only $100 per student – includes all instruction, HS and ASA rulebooks and manuals, lunch each day, other class materials, testing fee, OHSAA permit, ASA registration fee and OHSAA/ASA insurance packages.  Mail checks (payable to SWOSUS) with full name and address to Cincinnati ASA, 3016 Ambler Dr; Cinti, Ohio 45241.  This will insure your space in the class and your books will be mailed to you in advance should you wish to study before the first class.  This is suggested if possible. 

Games
There is a tremendous need for new officials – games are plentiful and assigners are anxious to use SWOSUS  graduates.  We will work to insure that you begin your career at a level where you are comfortable - whether it is school games or recreation softball.  The class is targeting female and minority participants but is open to all.  While most students have typically been adults OHSAA regulations now allow high school students of all ages to participate in these classes.  Our instructional team has successfully trained hundreds of officials of all ages using this popular and effective accelerated schedule.

Other information

For additional information contact Class Director, Jerry Fick, at (513) 563-2755 or by email - swdoc@fuse.net.  He will be joined by other OHSAA and ASA certified instructors who will give you individual and small group instruction in our mechanics sessions.  In addition, OHSAA Assistant Commissioners Steve Neil and Roxanne Price are expected to be our guests and will speak with the class concerning the important contributions participants can make to high school athletics.
