The South Plains Chapter of the Texas Association of Sports Officials - Football Division, will host a Mechanics Training Clinic for all football officials on Saturday, May 18, 2019, from 8 am until 4 pm, at Peoples Bank Stadium (Frenship ISD Tiger Stadium) in Wolfforth, Texas (a suburb of Lubbock, Texas).
This clinic is TASO approved for 5 education points. Training will include two hours of classroom discussion of mechanics for all TASO crew sizes, and 5 hours of on-field training. All training is strictly based on the TASO manuals of football officiating.
The training staff includes current and former FBS officials, and instruction is geared for TASO officials of all divisions and levels of experience who want to learn football officiating mechanics, from fundamental individual techniques (all positions) to more complex crew officiating and coordination concepts. This not just a "tryout" session for prospective collegiate officials. The instruction will be valuable for those exclusively working high school football, as well as those striving to work NCAA football.
Much of the instruction will be in the form of 'drills' focused on specific elements of football officiating skills. Clinic attendees will take turns serving as simulated players and teams, allowing repetition of the specific "looks" needed for all official to practice those skills (individual and crew). Training includes instruction in all aspects of the game, i.e., free kicks, and all types of scrimmage downs (running plays, passing plays, punts and field goal attempts.
Registration is $45 in advance, $50 on-site, and includes morning donuts, and sandwich box lunch. No other clinic anywhere offers more training, and no other clinic is more affordable.
Attendees should wear an official's shirt (with or without placket), an official's cap, and otherwise comfortable clothing for the weather, and artificial surface. Each participant must have their own whistle (lanyard style preferred), foul marker (flag), spot marker (bean bag), and down indicator. All participants are encouraged to bring personal water containers.
The venue includes an indoor training facility, which will be fully available for use in the event of inclement weather.
No limit on the number of participants. Mark it on your calendar and register soon. Bring a friend!
