*OBRA Officials Training, 2014*
Salem, Oregon
We are pleased to announce an upcoming OBRA officials training for new and
novice officials. If you have ever thought about becoming a cycling
official, now is your opportunity to get introductory training. We will be
covering core material as well as material specific to referees and judges.
Through both classroom instruction and break-out sessions, you will learn
the basic skills need to officiate at OBRA events.
Every OBRA team needs to have at least one team member who is a trained
official.
