2023 TRAINING FOR NEW OFFICIALS
Welcome to our SEFOA Training Class page! For your planning purposes, we will begin the 2023 SEFOA at 6pm on May 8th, 2023. The classes will be held every other Monday.  We will usually spend an hour in the classroom reviewing rules, mechanics, and officiating philosophies.  We will then spend an hour on the field for practical application (weather dependent).  If the need to conduct training via Zoom arises, we will review mechanics using game film from the college and high school levels. To ensure maximum participation through early planning, the dates, times, and location of the classes are:
 
May 8th                                           @ 6pm – 8pm   Virginia Wesleyan University
May 22nd                                        @ 6pm – 8pm   Virginia Wesleyan University
June 5th                                          @ 6pm – 8pm   Virginia Wesleyan University
June 19th                                        @ 6pm – 8pm   Virginia Wesleyan University
June 26th                                        @ 6pm – 8pm   Virginia Wesleyan University
July 10th                                          @ 6pm – 8pm   Virginia Wesleyan University
July 8th or 15th (SEFOA 1/2-day Clinic) @ 8am – 2pm   Nansemond Suffolk Academy 
July 24th                                          @ 6pm – 8pm   Virginia Wesleyan University
August 7th                                      @ 6pm – 8pm   Deep Creek Middle School
August 21st                                   @ 6pm – 8pm   Deep Creek Middle School

**Midway through our summer training, we are usually afforded 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 2023 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.

​We're looking forward to welcoming you to this AWESOME avocation! Let’s get started!
 
-Michael Kennedy
SEFOA Director of Training
