« Return to News

July 01, 2008

Rules clinic dates have been set for the 2008/09 school year.

NOTE: Remember, renewal registrations are due by July 1st without penalty. Deadline for registration of officials for each sport is the last clinic date. All meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. local time unless otherwise noted.

For organizational purposes a rules clinic schedule for all NDHSAA sponsored sports appears below. Also, football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, wrestling and tennis rules clinics will be offered for coaches at the State Coaches' Convention for convention attendees only. Each basketball official must have officiated or have been a supervisor at an NDHSAA approved rules clinic/day camp within the previous three years to be eligible for officiating region and state tournaments.

Online exams must be taken each year by every football, volleyball, soccer, swimming, hockey, gymnastics, basketball, wrestling and baseball officials and coaches. Testing windows for each sport along with the schedule for football, basketball and volleyball officials workshops are listed elsewhere in this issue.

The attendance is mandatory of head coaches and all officials at one of the rules clinics. Officials and coaches may fulfill attendance requirements by attending any official rules clinic conducted by any of the state associations and having their attendance card sent to the NDHSAA office for credit.

NOTE: THERE ARE NO MAKE-UP RULES CLINICS! A COACH/OFFICIAL MUST ATTEND ONE OF THE CLINICS or CLINIC/DAY CAMPS PER SPORT LISTED IN THIS SCHEDULE. A SCHOOL MUST PAY $50 FOR NON-ATTENDANCE OF A COACH AT ONE OF THESE CLINICS. THE SECOND NON-ATTENDANCE VIOLATION BY A SCHOOL IN ONE YEAR WOULD RESULT IN A $100 FEE.
