**** Meeting ****

December 18 @ 4:00 p.m.
Berryhill Administrative Complex

Be on Time I am getting reports that officials are arriving late. Please take on the responsibility to know that when you?re late you cause problems and worried for: the other officials. The Coaches, School Administration, and me !!!

Be Professional, I got a couple of good reports on us as a group of being very Professional, but also got a couple of us not. We have a good thing going here, let?s not mess it up, especially by being unprofessional. There is no excuse for that!!

Hustle and work hard, you do not know how much it means to a coach, fans, and administrators to see a crew of officials that are hustling and giving at least the impression that they are actually working hard to give them a good game. They may not always seem to feel that way (hence fussing complaining about things) but it you giving them a good game by: (Being Professional, Hustling, and Working Hard) they know it.

Please keep the before game, after games, half times talks to a very minimal with fans, coaches, administration. I know it is hard sometimes not to say a few words, but remember how it looks to the opposing team if they see you conversating with fans, coaches, and or administrators. I know sometimes you need to say a few words to a coach and or an administration before, during or after games, but keep it to a minimum and be professional in your conversation. This is not to say we will not listen to a coach during a game. Remember let them know you hear what they say, most coaches just wants to know they can talk to you some.

Game importance. All games are important. The coach, player, parent, and fan of that 9^thgrade girls game thinks their game is just as important as the Varsity game is. It is and treat it that way !!!!
