Dear Grand Masters, Masters, Instructors, Coaches and Fellow Taekwondoists:
The OTA will be conducting a Referee Seminar on March 19 and 20, 2005 to be held at the Kingston Military Community Sports Center . The necessity for a two - day seminar has become more apparent with the additional nuances that have appeared in the game of late. Day 1 will be spent on the rules of the game, some hand signals and “what a point is.” Day 2 will begin with the written test, then some practical situations with real people playing the game, and will finish with a practical test.
Our goal for the referee seminar is to make it more interactive than we might otherwise be accustomed. In fact, we believe it would be extremely beneficial for players to attend as well, not so much to become a referee, if that is not their goal, but to properly learn the rules applicable, and to actually learn about what the referee thinks during a match.
Firstly, we request that if you will be attending, please send an email to Mrs. Barbara Marian at mailto:barbara@newmaninsurance.ca as soon as possible. She will then send a copy of the rules in PDF format to you, for your review prior to the seminar. We would actually like to spend as little time as possible on the rule manual. We will have to spend some time on the most important matters, and ensure that material is covered for the written test, which will be held on Sunday morning. This way, the participants will have Saturday evening to study.
Secondly, please download and print a copy of the application on the following link:
http://www.taekwondo.on.ca/download/Referees/ota_referee_application_form.pdf
Please have it completed and appropriate funds available immediately upon your arrival to facilitate registration as quickly as possible. In addition, you must be a current OTA 2004/2005 member, if not this registration form is on the link:
http://www.taekwondo.on.ca/download/black_belt_membership_form.pdf
This form must be completed prior to participation at the seminar. This way, we will spend more time on the game, than on administration.
Thirdly, we will be utilizing the DVD produced in Korea outlining the permitted techniques and areas, as well as prohibited acts. We will also be showing tapes of the World Championships in Germany , and utilizing the actual ASL system so that participants may watch matches, and actually feel what it is like to be in the corner.
Fourthly, if you are anticipating attending in order to upgrade Referee class levels, please bring a copy of your most current referee class certificate if possible.
Finally, at the option of the participants, we would like you to bring your sparring gear. The reason is threefold. 1. In the past when we practice actual ring management with mock matches, we usually go home with some severe bruises. 2. It will make a practice match more realistic for the centre referee. 3. We can spend more time on what is a point, which is the actual reason for the game.
We look forward to hearing from the interested participants, and hope that we can provide a fun and enlightening seminar for all.
Yours truly,
Master Nyron Higgins
