We had a great meeting on Monday when we discussed Rule 6 and Umpire mechanics. This coming Monday we will discuss Rule 7 and Line Judge mechanics. Attendance at the meetings has been great. If you are an official who has not yet attended 6 meetings, then please keep in mind that we only have 5 meetings left.
On-Line Exam: If you haven't taken the on-line exam yet, then please go to http://www.schsl.org/football/OnlineExamInstructions.pdf to get the instructions and the website. You have 5 chances to score 70% on the exam. If you are still having difficulty making 70% after 3 tries, then get with me for some additional training.
Please take some time to look at your officiating uniforms. If they need some sprucing up, then please consider ordering new uniforms as soon as possible. Hats have been a particular problem as the white parts tend to turn brown quickly. Most officials buy at least a new hat every year. If you are not doing so, then take a look at your hat you've been wearing and go order a new one.
The mandatory SCFOA Clinic will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2015 at River Bluff High School in Lexington, SC. Check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m. and the clinic will start at 9:00 a.m. If you cannot attend on this date, then you need to submit your reason for not attending in writing to me. If your reason falls within the acceptable excuses listed in the By-laws, then your point deduction will be waived. There is a make-up clinic that is held on Monday, July 27, 2015 at the SCHSL office in Columbia. There is a $20 fee to attend the make-up clinic.
We're getting closer to the start of the season. Are you ready physically and mentally??
Work hard and stay in the book!
