ODC Responsibilities Training, Development and Mentoring of Officials. How do we do this . Planning, identifying needs, organizing, hosting and supporting clinics throughout BC . Updating existing and creating new resources. Assigning specific officials to competitions Mentoring and Assessing Officials Accrediting and Upgrading Officials
2021-2022 Achievements A. Official s Clinics Five (5) on-line Level 1 Clinics using G-meet One (1) Face-to-Face Level 1 Clinic Numbers: more than 70 participants Participation in On-line Delivery was sparse in some regions . B. Junior Official s Program ODC initiated program review as requirements were not realistic ODC members Kristina Krieck and Andrew Reith rewrote the Junior Official s Program Requirements are more achievable in the time frame; Program ensures a seamless transition to certification under SSBC ODC pathway
. C. Accreditation, Upgrading and other Matters. SSBC ODC is responsible for Level 1 and 2 upgrading. Upgrading to Level 3 is an SSC s responsibility. ODC recommends, SSC decides. Level 1 Upgrades: ODC accredited 53 individuals in one or more positions Valerie Linton (SSBC ED) was one of them. Congrats to everyone! See List Level 2 Upgrades: Tony Hanson (Fort St. John) Starter 2 David Wagner (Burnaby) Lap Counter 2. Congrats to both of you. Cancellation of competitions during Covid meant no experience credits could be earned. Hence only two officials upgraded to Level 2. Level 2 is the critical one as one develops discipline specific expertise. SSC grants for Mentorship. Four (4) grants toward mentorship of Andrea MacIntosh and Thomas McLennan, (referees), Kristie Poncia (starter), Kari Rae (Recorder) and Candace Clouthier (mentor)
Level 3 Upgrade Recommendations: ODC has approved the names of six (6) Level 2 Officials to be recommended to Speed Skating Canada for upgrading to Level 3 in their respective disciplines. Other Achievements: The following BC officials received SSC national and ISU international assignments: Stuart Gibbs, Video-Referee Short Track (Women) at two World Cups (Debrecen, Hungary and Dordrecht, the Netherlands) and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Hans Terstappen, Starter World Jr Championships ST, Gdansk, Poland Donna Bilous, Referee, CC Jr St Richmond Tina Peters, Recorder CC Jr St Richmond E.W. (Wim) Kok, Chief Referee, Canada Cup#4- Oval Finale (LT) Calgary ISU List Confirmation of (re) appointments as ISU officials Competitor Stewards, Referees, and Starters for the 2022-23 season usually takes place in June Note: Everyone on this list volunteered and started at Level 1!
Goals for 2022-23 Skating Season known, ODC will call for official s availability, and then assign chief officials. ODC wants to ensure that we (a) have experienced officials in place, and (b) create development opportunities for officials training, mentoring and upgrading. SSBC Officials Assignments 2022-23: Once the competition schedule is Officials Development Clinics: Level 1: ODC will again offer Level 1 Clinics using G-Meet and Face-to-Face Level 2: ODC has compiled list of names for specific Level 2 Clinics. Anyone who earned Level 1 in current or previous seasons can sign up.. Level 3: SSC is the lead agency on Level 3 clinics
Clinic Delivery To enable greater participation we will run some clinics on-line using G-Meet an Face-to-face delivery. To make the on-line clinic delivery participant friendly ODC is currently (b) reviewing, updating and creating specific official s manuals; (a) preparing focused PPT presentations for clinic conductors. The current focus will be on the following clinics (a) Meet Coordinator 2 (On-line G-Meet) (b) Finish Line Judge 2 (On-line G-Meet and FtF) (c) Timer 2 (On-line G-Meet and FtF) (d) Starter 2 (Theory on-line; practical with mentor) (e) Referee 2 (to be determined) (f) Recorder 2 (to be determined) ODC is also finalizing the officiating component for a Coaching @ Competitions clinic. This includes rules changes and competition practices.
Other Resources ODC will also finalizes resource for Track steward on both LT and ST Mentorship and Competitions: Mentorship is critically important for Level 2 upgrades, not only at local competitions, but more importantly higher levels in and out of BC. Mentorship at these competitions is critical. The recent ISU announcement of the Center of Excellence in LT and ST designations at the Calgary Oval (for skaters, coaches and officials) should open exciting possibilities.
Challenges Competitions: to build officials capacity beyond Level 1 requires more than clinics. Hosting higher level is critical. Therefore SSBC must actively pursue BC Cups and BCST in BCs Interior starting in 2022/23. This is for the benefit of skaters in preparing for next level competition Ice regs clinics upgrading: IceRegs remains problematic as a tool for officials development. Policy changes: committees/stakeholders that might be impacted by proposed policy changes need to be involved at the draft stage of policies. Clinics at major competitions: ODC does not support official s clinics to be held in conjunction with major competitions. These are opportunities for mentorship and practical experience. some
In summary This past years ODC has achieved many goals in the gradual transition to normal. We are developing an ambitious agenda for the coming season. A word of appreciation for everyone s help, cooperation and contributions. On behalf of SSBC ODC, thank you Remember ODC s Mantra: Official s Development Must Never Stop.
