A certification clinic has been scheduled for those wishing to become certified officials with USA Track & Field.  The clinic will be held in the visitors' locker room (behind the stadium on the visitor's side) at the Mary Birdwell Track complex on the Hoover High School campus.  The clinic will begin at 2:00 p.m on September 16, 2007.  The cost is $35.  You must be 14 years of age to be a certified official with USATF.

There will be a rules review relative to recent changes in track & field.  Certified Officials or those not wanting to be certified but who want to attend the rules review need only pay an administrative fee of $5.00.

Direct any questions to John Bahakel, USATF Alabama Certification Chair at JBahakel@aol.com or 205.328.9798.
