• Reminder: Officials Clinics Will Be Held Rain or Shine

  Wed, 5-21-2025 | NVSL Officials

  We've got some raindrops in the region today which is a perfect time to remind everyone that Officials Clinics will be held rain or shine -- under covered space in the event of rain. Some pools have covered pavilions and others have indoor options. Grab a sweatshirt and we'll see our returning Referees and Starters tonight at Little Hunting Park for Ref/Starter Recertification.
  
  All clinics start on time. There's no cost for the clinics and no registration for the in-person clinics is necessary. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for a certification clinic or depart before its conclusion , you will not receive credit for attending. Please click HERE for officials' qualifications procedures.
  
  Check the NVSL Calendar for all the clinics throughout the spring, as well as links to register for virtual recertification clinics. Our biggest training day of the day will take place Saturday May 31 at NVSL University! You can also review the schedule as a document HERE.
