<strong> OFSAA offers an Officiating Clinic Subsidy Program</strong></div>
<br>
Toronto, ON- Softball Ontario would like to share information about Ontario Federation of Secondary School Athletics Association (OFSAA)'s subsidy program to Ontario Secondary schools who are interested in hosting an Officiating clinic for students. OFSAA’s goal is to encourage students to get involved in sport as an official by reducing/eliminating the cost barrier associated with certification. The softball community is encouraged to approach their local Secondary school to generate interest to host a Softball Ontario Junior Development Umpire Clinic or an Intermediate Umpire clinic.<br>
<br>
The Officiating Clinic Subsidy Program will engage students who are not necessarily interested in being an athlete but still want to be involved in sports (in our case Softball). Other benefits of the program include building student confidence, provide an opportunity for employment and assist in the development of new Umpires in Ontario.<br>
<br>
<u><strong>How to Apply?</strong></u><br>
1) A teacher or school administrator must complete the following application prior to hosting the officiating clinic. Applications may be faxed to 416-426-7317 or emailed to michael@ofsaa.on.ca. Applications must be for hosting a clinic and not for sending students to a clinic hosted by a sport club or outside organization. Here is the link to OFSAA’s Officiating Clinic Subsidy Application Form:<br>
<a href="http://softballontario.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=71a17dfff5844262b6f3e33e9&id=6d154283bb&e=6c4e4fbfff" style="color: #336699;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;"><br>

<br>
2) If the application is approved, OFSAA will provide notification by email of the approved amount for the clinic. A reporting form will be provided which must be submitted following the clinic along with applicable copies of invoices. Reporting form must be received within 30 days of the completion of the course.<br>
<br>
3) Once all paperwork is received, OFSAA will process a payment for reimbursement to the school.<br>
<br>
Softball Ontario is pleased to promote OFSAA's Officiating Clinic Subsidy Program for the 2012 softball season. Our goal is to build and develop the sport of the Softball for umpires by providing clinics for all levels of competition. Softball Ontario offers clinics and programs to ensure that Ontarians have the skills and knowledge to participant in our great sport. The following clinics are eligible for OFSAA’s Officiating Clinic Subsidy Program include:<br>
Softball Ontario Umpire Clinics:<br>
<br>
Junior Development-is designed to provide youth umpire between the ages of 12-16 with basic introduction to officiating.<br>
Intermediate-was developed for young officials between the ages of 15-18 to be able to officiate at house league games and to prepare them as they advance in their umpiring career.<br>
Level 1-This clinic is considered to be beneficial to all Umpires. It is important to know the proper Mechanics and Rules prior to stepping on the diamond.<br>
<br>
Secondary Schools who are interested in hosting a Softball Ontario should visit the Softball Ontario website to download a Softball Ontario Clinic Bid form. Here is the link:<br>
