NENSA Officiating Program - Officials Certification
Current NENSA TDs| Officials Certification | Technical Delegate Duties | Certified Officials
NENSA's Officials Certification Program is designed to provide our Eastern Cup and Championship events with informed officials who work in cooperation with NENSA staff and site personnel to create safe, exciting competitions. Recognizing that each candidate has a unique background, we have created an Officials Certification Program that blends hands-on experience in our Eastern Cup mentoring program with written testing and interview.
NENSA Officials Mentoring Program
Interested participants are paired with NENSA-certified and FIS certified officials at Eastern Cup and Championship events. Candidates “shadow” the NENSA TD through the day, ask questions, and complete reports concerning the race.
Interview
We recognize that some candidates bring extensive experience in cross-country ski racing to the officials program. Demonstration of expertise in the interview process can shorten a candidate's apprenticeship period.
Written testing
All NENSA Officials must pass open book testing before they can be certified.
