Summer Training
2023 MCJA ~ Veteran & Novice ~ Summer Training
Calling All Officials for In-Person Sessions
Summer Training 2023 – Schedule
August 11 & 12 – in Frankenmuth
This year MCJA is trying something new! Come join us – veterans and novice officials – for a jump start to the season.
Sessions include:
Tricks of the Trade: A Panel Judging Lab and A Safety Judging Lab
This session will provide an opportunity for judges (experienced and new) to discuss the “systems/tricks” they have developed over the years in a round table discussion. This session will allow for a structured dialogue between judges where significant ideas will be reported out. These ideas will be audio-recorded, typed up, and sent out to members for future thought and/or use. In order to use this time most efficiently, sections of this session will be timed.
NOTE: PARTICIPANTS OF THIS SESSION SHOULD THINK THROUGH (AHEAD OF TIME) WHAT THEIR SYSTEMS/TRICKS ARE (example: how you deduct points on round three stunting/tumbling, what you factor into general impression score, how you judge formations, etc…)
Learn about cheer resources with a librarian by day, cheer judge by night! Accessing information is important to the big picture of being a registered official.
