Observation & Evaluation

HDOA will continually try to improve the skills and abilities of the membership. To do this an Observer Program will be designed and implemented to provide constructive criticism and guidance to members. This program will be implemented in accordance with the requirements and guidelines as recommended by the IHSA

Just because the high school season has ended doesn't mean the observations and evaluations should end. There are a number of current Summer camps and leagues that are being worked by our up and coming officials who would welcome the opportunity to be seen by some veterans. So if you observers happen to come across one of our members on the court, take some time to "check 'em out" and send in an evaluation. This could help them move to that next level! HDOA member observers should still use the above Evaluation Form link page when submitting. A hard copy Evaluation Form can also be printed from this link as well as some helpful information and Observation Guidelines you'll have a reference point to take notes before submitting. The Executive Committee uses the evaluations to assist in not only rating officials, but also to help continue the growth and strength of our members and the association as a whole. If you have any question or need information regarding this program, please contact the coordinator, Ronnie Jones.
