Clinic Overview
The 2nd Annual Tom Beard's Football Officials Clinic will be conducted on March 27-28,
2009. We are very fortunate to, once again, have Howard University as the host.  Its fine
facilities and mid-Atlantic location make it an ideal site.  

The clinic is designed for both a new-to-officiating high school official and the more
seasoned collegiate official. The emphasis of the clinic is training an official to be in the
right place at the right time to make the right call! The following list of items are on the
agenda:

  • Better officiating
  • Mechanics overview
  • Break/Dress for field work
  • What a supervisor looks for in selecting an official
  • Does your game move smoothly–it’s a crew concept
  • The process of clinics and camps

The clinic has been expanded and it is now 2 days. In addition, there will be 2 scrimmages.
One scrimmage will be held on Friday afternoon while the other scrimmage is scheduled
for Saturday.

Post- Scrimmage Review
Following each scrimmage there will be a brief review session. During this post game
review, the observers will critique overall performance, including rule interpretation, keys,
mechanics and positioning, and general field presence.  We hope that you leave the
scrimmage with a greater understanding of the mechanics and the philosophies necessary
to be a quality official.
