Responsibilities: 
Game Coverage: If you are injured or sick BEFORE CAMP please contact Jenn & Randy. WHILE AT CAMP, please contact Rachel with all game information and replacements. Remember, if you are not able to make your scheduled games it is your responsibility to find a replacement AND to let Shannon know immediately. Rachel's contact information will be given out at the opening meeting.

Game Arrival: Be on court at least 15 minutes before scheduled start time for a pre-game. 

Officials' Uniform: Full game uniform (minus jacket) is required.  If you do not have a women's college shirt, do not fret. Wear what you have, proudly. 

Clinicians while on court: These individuals are dedicating their time and energy to everyone. Please be respectful to those officials that are being observed and keep conversations with clinicians to a minimum- be an active but noninvasive spectator. 

Be a community of like-minded supporters. Be respectful to your fellow officials by speaking only positive and supportive words. 

Philosophy: 
At ACO we maintain our camp as  a safe space to work games, learn on court, discuss plays, positioning, mechanics, rules, philosophies and other basketball-related topics. We expect campers to respect their peers as officials and more importantly, as people. We create this space to ask questions, learn, listen and develop- what you choose to do with this opportunity is up to you
