OFFICIALS TRAINING
Metroplex Tennis Officials Association
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
2012
PROPOSAL
Trainees would be paid a flat rate of $50.
Trainees would have to attend either the annual Officials School or Roving 101.
Trainees would be assigned a trainer and rove for at least one 6-hour shift.
Roving 101 teacher would receive a flat rate of $50 per training session.
Trainers for roving officials would be paid by the tournament and trainees from the USTA money.
Trainer would determine if trainee was ready after the allotted training time.
COST PROJECTIONS
$50 per trainee for 6 hours of on-court training X 20 officials: $1000
20 trainees are projected since there is an average of 30 new officials per year, but not all complete the training.
$50 per training session for Roving 101 instructor X 6 sessions per year: $300.
Training for chair officials: $400
Total cost for all training and materials: $1700
GUIDELINES
Roving 101 would only be required of those officials who take the provisional test during the year and have not attended the officials school.
Those who attend the school would not be required to attend Roving 101.
Trainers would be expected to cover the Roving 101 materials during the training time.
Roving 101 materials will be mailed to all trainees who do not attend the Roving 101 class.
The trainer would have the discretion to say whether or not the trainee is ready after the allotted training time.
Trainees must wear official clothing, possibly with the exception of the shirt, but in lieu of the official shirt, trainee must wear a red or blue polo shirt. Trainees who are improperly dress will not be permitted to do the shadowing.
Point to remember: MTOA averages 30 new officials per year, but not all would complete all of the training. Based on previous numbers, of the 30 who start, around 20 complete all of the training.
