Mechanics
« on: August 28, 2013, 12:56:18 PM »
So I'm moving to a new position this year and although I know the mechanics manual pretty well, I was wondering if there were any resources solely for mechanics improvement.

I've watched most of the Aloha clinic videos and the Crew of 5 videos, but these focus mainly on play situations with mechanics thrown in where appropriate.  I'm looking for anything that's the opposite way, focusing mainly on mechanics.

Try Bill LeMonnier's mechanics DVD.

Does your state have its own mechanics manual?  Mine does and from what I understand, it is slightly different than some of the other state's

Do an internet search for "Ohio Gold Book" and you'll find a 50 page pdf file that does a very nice job of identifying mechanics for each position (R, U, HL, LJ, BJ) for a number of different situations.  Unless you work in Ohio, there may be some differences between this manual and your mechanics, but this is (IMHO) a great place to start.

The major difference between the Gold Book and NFHS mechanics is the free kick mechanics, which are quite different.

Here is a link to the GHSA Mechanics Manual.  It is primarily based on 6 officials, but has sections on 4, 5 and 7 man as well.

Hadn't even noticed!  I still have the 2012 Manual that has them in if you want them.  Send me a message with an email address and I can send the pdf.
