What We Need
Officials who are willing to be mentors and their available dates for mentorship.
Assocations who are willing to take the contact information of potential officials and help be sure they get certified.

We (OAC) facilitate finding less experienced officials and interested members.
Once we have contact information, we pass it along to associations.
If not certified, associations will walk them through the certification process.
Once they are certified the OAC will provide them with an Officials Shirt & Wrist Bands.
We will then help find events (both Duals and Youth Tournaments) for them to officiate (Defense Soap and OAC) and we will pair them with a mentor to assist them at a tournament. Mentor Mentee paid $35 per hour by OAC and Defense Soap.
