NILOA Coordinator of Training, Hans Wittelsberger.
NILOA's mission is to enhance the level of officiating of our membership. In order to accomplish this task in 2018 NILOA held eight training events throughout the country.
Members who participate in these events were observed by an experienced team of veteran officials, led by NILOA Coordinator of Training, Hans Wittelsberger.
Each year NILOA plans to conduct multiple clinics in locations throughout the country in order to provide feedback to each official and allow them to improve their craft.
All information regarding these clinics is provided to assignors and posted to the NILOA Training page. If you wish to participate in a training event, contact your District Governor.
Here is a recap of our 2019 Events:
