This virtual training is offered to you at a one-time cost starting at $75 and will include the following:

  • -Virtual webinars to introduce judging for the MEPA circuit and the state of MEPA adjudication throughout the season;
  • -Supplemental materials and resources tailored to MEPA adjudication;
  • -Reviews and coaching (virtual and onsite).

  • -Attend all MEPA shows during the 2023 season;
  • -Run tapes/commentary for practice and shadow rostered judges during shows for at least one contest**;
  • -Consistent feedback and touchpoints to monitor progress.

**Option available where available based on gym capacity and circuit staffing**
