Comment |
Once a person is certified as a stroke and turn official, they are encouraged to participate in as many meets as they can to gain experience and knowledge. This will allow those running meets to have greater confidence in their ability to officiate at meets of various levels. |
Restrictions |
Junior Officials may only officiate at 12/U sessions and may only officiate at meets that are classified below LSC Championship level. In CT, the Championship level includes Senior Championships, Age Group Championships and YMCA State Championships. Once a Junior Official turns 18, they will automatically be moved to regular Stroke & Turn status and will need to complete their Background Check and APT in order to be in good standing. |
