Mentor Form
                                                           ITCCOA Mentoring Program

   One of the missions of the association is to provide its members with the opportunity to develop their professional skills to
better serve the sports of track and cross country.  To that end we offer a mentoring program wherein a veteran member official
will actively work with a member official of less experience.  The guidelines for this program are as follows:
-  The supervising official must be a member of ITCCOA and have a minimum of seven (7) years experience as a licensed IHSA
official in track.
-  The official being mentored must be a member of ITCCOA and have five (5) or fewer years experience as a licensed IHSA
official in track.
-  The supervising official and mentored official must work together at four (4) meets during the year.  One meet will concentrate
on an official’s pre-meet responsibilities and field events.  A second meet will focus on the duties of clerk of the course and
starter/assistant starter.  A third meet will emphasize the mechanics of a properly functioning finish line and an official’s post-
competition responsibilities.  A final meet is to let the mentored official apply what was generally learned in the overall practice of
good officiating.
-  The official being mentored is to serve as an official in some capacity in the state series competition (sectionals and/or state
finals).  This may occur independently of the supervising official, although a joint presence is preferred.
-  Upon successfully completing the four (4) mutually attended meets and the state series requirement, the mentored official will
receive compensation in the amount of $50 from the association.
-  The number mentored officials sponsored in any year may be restricted due to limited resources within the association.

   If you feel you are able to meet the responsibilities of a supervising official in this program, complete and forward the following
application.
