Online Training Option & Season Commitment Test

If you are a 1st or 2nd year official and cannot attend the in-person clinics, you can complete your pre-season training entirely online.

BRYC is paying for each new official to become IAABO Jr certified. To confirm who plans to work this season, all 1st and 2nd year officials -- whether training online or in person -- must pass the Season Commitment Test before attending training. The test will be open during the last two weeks of November. Instructions will be emailed when it opens.
