SLD 550 - Successful Sport Officiating

Students will explore how to facilitate a deeper understanding of the skills required for effective officiating. These include but are not limited to sound communication skills and proper decision-making protocols. Students will be introduced to topics related to officiating and dealing with coaches, players, fans, and parents as well as conflict resolution. Our journey will also ask each of us to develop an officiating philosophy with the goal of understanding the psychology of officiating in an effort to become an effective official.
