Officials Course

The next National Level Officials two-day course has not yet been set and will depend on the number of new officials needing to take this training.  Please see below for course details however:

Upon completing the course and achieving a passing grade on the exam you will have gained the following: 

Course Objectives – Participants will have:

·                     Ability to navigate IRO Rule Book

Once you are an accredited National level Luge official, you will be able to officiate at any races in Whistler.

We would then encourage you to volunteer to officiate at as many races as you can to utilize these new skills.

Attention all National Level Luge Officials:

Thank you for taking the time to keep your accreditation current and volunteering at luge events.  Without our officials there wouldn’t be competitions for the athletes. You are appreciated!
