| 4th Annual Tom Beard's Football Officials Clinic was held on March 18-19, 2011 |
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
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, and a continental breakfast and lunch served on
Saturday (all included in your registration fee).
This is our 4th clinic and, we are very fortunate to have Morgan State University (Baltimore, MD)
as our host. Due to the expected amount of registrations, we have 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. You have two
registration options. These options are:
The clinic will begin earlier on Friday (1pm, sharp) so that we have additional time to enhance
your classroom and on-field experience. There will be a general session and conference-style
sessions regarding mechanics and how they relate to the running, passing and kicking games.
On Saturday morning, there will be several breakout sessions where we will address additional
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 report 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 Morgan State and Bowie State Football
Teams. 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 or foul
weather pants, 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.

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. 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 officials from the NFL and the UFL as well as
some of the best collegiate officials in the country from the ACC, Big XII, Big East, and
SEC. 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!

“Beyond Zero!!!”
The theme for the Clinic is "Beyond Zero!" With this theme, we are attempting to raise the bar,
promoting a cultural shift in the mindset of our clinic participants to go to the extreme, to be the
best they can be! Doing the minimum is no longer acceptable, no matter what goals you are trying
to achieve; for example, weight loss/retention, mechanics awareness, field management, game
flow, rules knowledge, etc. The TBFOC truly believes that going beyond the minimum is truly what
it takes to raise the bar to be a quality official.

As we prepared for our 4th Annual Clinic, the TBFOC Staff constantly strives to make each
clinic better than the previous. We do so by thoroughly analyzing feedback from our
clinicians, special guests, and most importantly, you, our clinic attendees. To approve the
2011 clinic, the staff proudly announced the following cenhancements:
clinic better than the previous. We do so by thoroughly analyzing feedback from our
clinicians, special guests, and most importantly, you, our clinic attendees. To approve the
2011 clinic, the staff proudly announced the following cenhancements:
- The Clinic was hosted by Morgan State University (MSU) in Baltimore, MD. The
facilities at MSU are top-notch and provide a comfortable environment that was
conducive to our group and breakout sessions. Additionally, Bowie State University
(BSU) was one of our scrimmage hosts and post-scrimmage wrap-up locations. BSU
has field turf and they also providec top-not facilities. - Attendees had the choice of selecting from various tracks. On Friday, there were
multiple breakout sessions offered simultaneously. So, attendees could choose the
breakouts of your preference. - There were still two registration options, (1) On-field with Class and (2) Classroom
Only. For those choosing Classroom Only, you had the option of mirroring clinicians
during the scrimmages to hear feedback or you can select various classroom options. - All participants were broken down into crews (including those selecting Classroom
Only). Each crew was assigned to 2-3 clinicians. These clinicians were fully
assigned to your crew for the entire clinic. Attendees received on-field
instruction from them as well as shared lunch, participated in crew meetings, and
much more. What better opportunity to pick the brains of the best talent in football
officiating anywhere in the world! Please scroll down for our list of clinicians. We're
sure you were be impressed. - The TBFOC offered two additional payment options:
- 2 payments of $175.00
- 3 payments of $117.00
