Want to become your club expert on the rules of table tennis?
Officiate at tournaments? Now's your chance. Karol Ziduliak (BCTTA
Officials Committee Chairman, International Umpire &
Referee) will conduct a seminar on Vancouver Island offering 'Club
Umpire' certification. The seminar lasts 2-3 hours followed
by a multiple choice, open book exam which would take about an
hour to complete. (For details of required reading and study
material click here.) For those interested you can progress, in the future, to the 'Provincial Umpire' and 'National Umpire' levels. The seminar will be conducted on a weekend day, probably in August. The location will be decided when we know where the majority of participants are from. We anticipate a total cost of approx. $25.00 for members of the BCTTA - $30.00 for non-members. If you are interested in participating please email us including a note of where you live. |
