2012 Fellowship Season
As you assemble your teams for the coming indoor season, you will also want to think about CHRVA practice tournaments called Fellowships. Fellowships give teams an opportunity to "audition" new players without having to make a season-long commitment, but most important, they are the Region's only vehicle for training and certifying new referees and scorekeepers. If you have players on your team who plan to become certified officials, they will need to attend the appropriate referee and/or scorekeeper clinic(s) and then attend one or two Fellowships in order to get rated or trained.
