We will go over a recap from the 2018-19 season and relay feedback we received from the Metro Conference Athletic Directors. We will also talk about the upcoming 2019-20 season and give you new information on conference expansion and what it means to our officials.
We would encourage you to bring a blank check or cash that evening to sign up for the upcoming season. I have included a sign up sheet with this email to fill out beforehand to save time. We will also be taking availability and applications for the NBO 3-person mechanics clinic that will be held Saturday, June 1, during the Omaha Bryan Varsity Team camp. I will also need officials that weekend for games that aren’t part of the clinic. We will also be taking availability that night for our Monday Night Girls League at Papillion High School and the Monday Night Boys League at the Union Bank and Trust Sports Complex.
My assistant, Brent Robinson, will also go over opportunities he will have this summer with AAU events. He will also go over lower level feedback and take questions for the upcoming season.
I would also like to answer questions this evening. I hope to keep the meeting right around an hour.
We are looking forward to another successful season.
