Clinic Overview
Our clinic committee would like to extend an invitation for you to attend a truly unique football
officiating clinic. We have assembled an outstanding group of nationally prominent officials,
observers and supervisors who are planning to share their experience, philosophy and knowledge
with each. You will have the opportunity to meet, greet and eat with members of our clinic staff and
guests as well as collegiate and high school officiating coordinators.
The program will include group sessions, position meetings, and special instruction on all areas of
officiating, including a seven, six and five man mechanics review. Imagine two full days of sharing
lessons with NFL, BCS and FCS Collegiate and State Championship Football Officials. Plus, there
will be a Friday evening social at the Crowne Plaza, and a continental breakfast and lunch served
on Saturday at Howard University.
This is our 3rd clinic and, once again, we are very fortunate to have Howard University as our host.
Due to the amount of registrations, we have also expanded to Bowie State University as an
additional site. We have improved on the successful format of the previous years and we have
upgraded our facilities, audio-visual equipment, etc. Another improvement that we’ve made is that
you have two registration options. These options are:
The clinic will begin earlier on Friday (Registration: 1pm) so that we have additional time to
enhance your classroom and on-field experience. The clinic is divided into four stages. First, we
will have a general session regarding collegiate mechanics and how they relate to the running,
passing and kicking games. Second, after a brief pregame session on Friday afternoon, the
officials will report to the field where they will receive on-field instruction while working one of the
Friday afternoon spring scrimmages. Third we will reconvene Saturday morning and have several
breakout sessions where we will address mechanics by breaking into 4 groups: line of scrimmage
officials (LJ and HL), deep wing officials (BJ, FJ, SJ), Umpires, and Referees. Finally, after a
pregame classroom session on Saturday mid-day, the officials will return to the field for additional
instruction while working one of the Saturday afternoon spring scrimmage.
The clinic is designed for both high school officials and collegiate official at any level. The
emphasis of this clinic is in putting an official in the right place at the right time to make the right
call! NFL Clinicians will be in attendance. Supervisors from collegiate conferences are invited.
On-Field Instruction
This clinic is proud to work in conjunction with the Howard University Bison Football Team. Their
spring practices will have begun and on-field work is planned. If you register to work on the
field, the following attire is required: Hat, stripped shirt, knickers, whistle, flag and bean
bag. There will be a clinician for each position at each site. In the event of inclement weather an
indoor mechanics demonstration will be substituted.
Post- Scrimmage Review
Following the scrimmage there will be a brief review session. During this post game review, the
observers will critique overall performance, including rule interpretation, mechanics and
positioning, and general field presence. You will have the opportunity to ask the observers
questions regarding your performance.
The post game review session at the scrimmage site will conclude the clinic. We hope that you
leave your scrimmage with a greater understanding of the mechanics and the philosophies
necessary to be a quality football official.

Due to the amount of registrations, we have also expanded to Bowie State University as an
additional site. We have improved on the successful format of the previous years and we have
upgraded our facilities, audio-visual equipment, etc. Another improvement that we’ve made is that
you have two registration options. These options are:
- Classroom and On-field Instruction (by working a scrimmage): The TBFOC Staff realizes
that there are some officials that are not comfortable participating in the on-field sessions
while other officials are much more willing to do so. To accommodate both, we have decided
to limit the number of officials that will take part in the scrimmage. Officials choosing to work
the scrimmage will be identified on a “First Come First Serve” basis. Therefore, we strongly
encourage you to register immediately! You will not want to miss this opportunity to take the
field and perform in front of some of our top notch NFL and Collegiate Officials. If history is
any indication, this registration option will fill quite fast. - Classroom Only: As usual, the classroom sessions will be as dynamic as always. This is
evident by the top notch clinicians that we have this year. At every general session as well
as the breakouts, there will be several NFL officials as well as some of the best collegiate
officials in the country from the ACC, Big XII, Big East, SEC, and the United Football League.
To be specific, at each position, there will be collegiate officials that have worked a myriad of
2009-2010 Bowl Games (including the FBS National Championship, The International Bowl,
The Music City Bowl, The Las Vegas Bowl and The New Orleans Bowl). So, if you choose
not to work on the field, there will still be significant opportunities for you to increase your
knowledge and officiating abilities!
The clinic will begin earlier on Friday (Registration: 1pm) so that we have additional time to
enhance your classroom and on-field experience. The clinic is divided into four stages. First, we

At this point, when you register, you will automatically be assigned to Bowie State. Please note that you will follow the Classroom Only Track on Friday. On Saturday, you will participate in group sessions and breakouts. After lunch, you will be responsible for traveling to Bowie State for the scrimmage. After the scrimmage, you will attend breakout sessions in classrooms at Bowie State for the remainder of the clinic. |
