About EBOA New Referees Clinics
Clinics for new "NOCP Level 1 Referee Candidates" are usually held in September on two consecutive Saturdays. The clinic fee includes an orientation booklet, a whistle and a contribution towards covering the cost of facilities and instructors. The EBOA subsidizes the rest. Places are limited.
​
Theory and Knowledge
The Theory and Knowledge portion of the clinic includes an exam at the end of the session. Candidates who receive a 70% passing mark on their exam are invited to attend the practical assessments the following Saturday. No refunds are issued for those who do not attain the passing mark.
​
Practicum and Assessment
For those who have successfully passed the exam, the Practicum and Assessment stage of the clinic is held the following Saturday and includes on-court training.
