Safety Officer Training Class

There is no Safety Officer Training Class scheduled.

We will be holding a Safety Officer Training Class on March 24th 2012 at South River Gun Club in Conyers, GA and you are invited to attend.

Registration is now closed for this class. Do not pay for this class unless you already registered.

Why should you become a Safety Officer?

First and foremost, you should be aware that IDPA is a 100% volunteer sport. Were it not for the small dedicated group of volunteers, we would not have the sport we all enjoy. This small group generously donates their time and money to come out and setup our matches and then they turn around and work as Safety Officers during the actual match. We all agree that they do a great job, but we need more people to get involved so these few don’t get burned out.

Taking the Safety Officer training class has many tangible benefits. By completing this class you get:

  • Gratification that you are giving something back to a sport that you enjoy
  • An understanding of how to keep the sport’s excellent safety record in tack
  • The ability to start your own IDPA club should you desire to do so
  • The ability to run the official classifier
  • A much better understanding of the rules and how to apply them
  • Improvements to your game through shared experience with other SO’s (even if you never hold the timer)

Getting certified as an SO does not obligate you to anything.

Here is how the course works:

  • Saturday morning lecture – 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
  • At noon you take the certification test (which you must pass) 12:00 – 12:30 pm
  • Lunch (bring your own or go to the SRGC club house) 12:30 – 1:00 pm
  • Saturday afternoon you will SO several of the Sunday stages under the watchful eye of the instructor and other senior SOs (This is where the real learning is.) – 1:00 – 4:00 pm
  • Sunday, you will SO a squad under the watchful eye of our senior SOs

So, it is a two day commitment, but you will enjoy every minute of it.

Requirements:

In order to attend the SO training class, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be a member of the National IDPA organization in good standing
