MCT Marlins

In order to judge or ref one of our meets, you will need to complete a free training.

Step 1: Take the online NFHS training course

• Navigate to www.nfhslearn.com and create a free account
• Once logged in to your account, select “Officials” along the top vertical menu entitled “Courses For”
• Scroll down to locate the course entitled, “Judging Springboard Diving”. While hovering over the course, a “Start Learning” button will appear. Click on that “Start Learning” button.
• When you are ready to take the course, from your dashboard select “My Courses” and click on “Start Course”, “Continue Course” or “Complete Course”. This selection depends on how much of the course you have completed.
• When you have completed the course, download your certificate. This can be found on your dashboard under “My Certificates”.
• Submit this certificate to MCDL via our Officials Portal.

Step 2: Attend an MCDL Judge in-person training

• The online training must be completed prior to attending the MCDL pool-side training.
• Register for a training session via our Officials Portal.
• This training will focus on analyzing live diving and MCDL specific rules and will typically last 90 minutes.

Step 3: Repeat this process every three years to keep your certification active.
