Officiating clinics are a great way to continue your journey, build confidence, and find a role you love on deck! All clinics are free and taught by experienced senior officials.

• Self-Directed E-Modules – Complete these online clinics at your own pace.
• Instructor-Led Clinics – Offered virtually or in person, these interactive sessions provide hands-on learning with experienced officials. While we encourage you to take clinics hosted by our club, you’re welcome to attend sessions offered by any club across Ontario.
