Training
Class Highlights
- Methodical
Review of National Federation Football Rules
Each
week, the CVFOA Training Committee will take you through a step
by step, rule by rule review of the National Federation Football
Rulebook. This review is the basis for the rest of the year.
The rule review will prepare you for the National Federation Rules
Exam. The rules review will continue throughout the year.
- CVFOA
Mechanics
After
the Exam, the Committee will begin mechanics training. Mechanics
are the "way we work a game". In other words, where to line
up when working each position. What the keys are for each position.
What the responsibilities are for each position during all kinds
of plays (i.e. Kick-off, Free Kick, Scrimmage Play, etc.)
You
will also learn what is expected of you as a CVFOA Official, your
responsibilities regarding meeting attendance, time to arrive at
a game site, communicating with your crew, etc.
- Game
Experience Discussion
Once
the season starts, you will be assigned at least one sub-varsity
game each week. Some of your best education will come from
discussing situations that occur in you games. These discussions
are invaluable. The committee will be able to field your questions
and clear-up confusing plays or mechanics questions.
The
CVFOA has the reputation within the State of Virginia as having
the best new officials training program. The Committee works
extremely hard to provide you with the basis to become a top flight
Varsity Official. Without an effective training program
for new officials, the CVFOA will not be able to continue to provide
the quality service for which it is known. Our goal is to insure
that the CVFOA always has new officials entering our ranks with
skills that are equal to or greater than those of the current membership.
We
hope to see you in June !
