2022 TRAINING FOR NEW OFFICIALS
Welcome to our SEFOA Training Class page! For your planning purposes, we will begin the 2022 SEFOA at 6pm on May 9th, 2022. The classes will be held every other Monday via Zoom Calls. We will usually spend an hour in the classroom reviewing rules, mechanics, and officiating philosophies. If class is in person, we will then spend an hour on the field for practical application (weather dependent)*. If still conducting training via Zoom, however, we will review mechanics using game film from the college and high school levels. To ensure maximum participation through early planning, the dates and times of the classes are:
May 9th @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
May 23rd @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
June 6th @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
June 20th @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
June 27th @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
July 11th @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
July 16th (SEFOA 1/2 day Clinic) @ 8am – 2pm Nansemond Suffolk Academy
July 25th @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
August 8th @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
August 22nd @ 6pm – 8pm Deep Creek Middle School*
**Midway through our summer training, we will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience working games for a local high school football camp. These games will provide both new and probationary officials (officials with 1-2 years’ experience) opportunity to work 1 on 1 with top position trainers (many that work the higher levels of football) and gain valuable practice in advance of the upcoming football season.**
If interested in joining our 2022 SEFOA Training Class, please Contact Us. No experience is necessary--we provide the training. Earn a little money while giving back to your community and supporting youth & high school sports. If you are a veteran or active duty military, you could possibly have your first year expenses covered with a “Battlefields to Ballfields” scholarship. “Battlefields to Ballfields” provides scholarships to veterans to get integrated back into their community through officiating. Go to https://www.battlefields2ballfields.org/ or email B2B Representative, Michael Kennedy @ mkennedyops@gmail.com for details.
Looking forward to welcoming you to this AWESOME avocation! Let’s get started!
