Here in NC, there are nine approved officials associations that assign HS football officials in designated geographical regions. Officials are required to attend six (6) local clinics, a state rules clinic (covers rule changes and POE's), and an association meeting (covers mechanics and business for respective regional associations), as well as working three (3) pre-season scrimmages. This adds up to 20-25 hours of time invested, not counting drive time and fuel. HUDL Video is used now in most meetings, but it seems that available technology could reduce time and travel by making local clinic content available to officials to view at home. That being said...
--Are any associations/chapters in other states using online meeting or e-learning platforms to meet all or part of their annual training requirements?
--If so, what platforms are used? (Google Classroom, ProProfs, others?)
--How has it worked since being implemented? Positives? Negatives?
Any feedback would be appreciated!
