The OWHA will be hosting a beginner seminar online for young females (ages 14 and older) who wish to become an official for the 2021-2022 season.

The focus of this program is to create opportunities for female leaders within the game. Becoming an official is another one of the pathways that young females can follow to be a part of the Olympic Games. Female athletes that attend will gain valuable officiating knowledge that can be applied within their local and surrounding associations under the mentorship of OWHA referee supervisors.
