The 5th Annual Tom Beard’s Football Official Clinic
Clinic Registration
Officials Clinic - March 16-17, 2012
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 5th 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 our scrimmage
opportunities to Bowie State University and we are actively negotiating for a third site (details to
come soon). We have improved on the successful format of the previous years and we have
upgraded our facilities, audio-visual equipment, etc.
You now have the choice of selecting from various tracks. There will be multiple breakout sessions
offered simultaneously. So, you can choose the breakouts of your preference. We foresee there
being a track for High School Officials, 7-man Mechanics, et cetera.
All participants will be broken down into crews (including those selecting Classroom Only). Each
crew will be assigned to a clinician. The clinician will be fully assigned to your crew for
the entire clinic. You'll be able receive on-field instruction from him as well as share lunch,
participate 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'll be impressed.
You have two registration options. These options are:
1. 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.
2. 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 Bowl Games. 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!
The TBFOC offers a payment plan option for the Classroom & On-field Registration.
The 1st payment is due on or before 1/01/2012, 2nd payment due on or before 2/1/2012
& the final payment is due on or before 2/29/2012 (Field positions are filled based on
full clinic payment dates. Upgrades may be possible but are subject to availability).
The clinic will begin earlier on Friday (Approximately 10am) so that we have additional time to
enhance your classroom and on-field experience. There will be a general session and conferencestyle 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 officials at all levels. 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.
We are also in the process of securing a 3rd scrimmage site. 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.

Gulf South Conference Football Officiating Camp No Update for now
Big 12 Officials Camp
Registration Currently Full
The Big 12 Conference and the Southland Conference will host its 5th officiating camp in Little Rock, AR
from Wednesday, April 11 – Sunday, April 15, 2012. For 2012, the camp will expand to include 4 nights
stay so that video review can begin first thing on Thursday morning. This year’s camp will again include
three college campuses: Univ. of Central Arkansas, Univ. of Arkansas Pine Bluff, and Henderson State
Univ. All spots in the camp will include on-field work.
Also, based upon feedback from last year’s camp, we are opening enrollment earlier and allowing
officials to spread their registration payment over time to minimize the financial impact that has
previously occurred around the holiday season. The camp is open to all college level officials or officials
preparing for the collegiate level, but attendance will be limited to the first 84 officials (12 crews) to
complete the registration process. The registration fee of $900 includes all camp fees, room/tax, meals,
and meeting instructional videos. The UCA, UAPB and HSU football teams will be used for all live onfield work.
Also for 2012, we will host another camp in Reno, NV Thursday, June 14 – Sunday, June 17, 2012. This
will be the second of two camps held in Reno as part of the Nevada Football Camp. That camp will be
limited to 56 officials (8 crews). Information on the Reno Camp will be available in August.
We will begin accepting registration forms on July 19, 2011. To register, you can complete and submit
the form online or you can download and email the form. Fill out the attached Camp Registration
Form as instructed, save a separate file titled with your first and last name, and email to Tracy Hunt at
the address on the form. Be sure to attach a digital photo in the appropriate box. DO NOT SEND ANY
MONEY WITH THIS INITIAL REGISTRATION FORM. WE WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN YOU NEED TO SEND IN
THE INITIAL DEPOSIT TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT AT THE CAMP.
As registrations are received, officials will be selected based upon position indications on your
registration form. Another factor we will consider will be to crew officials with similar experience, thus
enabling us to customize instruction and make the program as effective as possible in helping officials
meet their specific needs. This also allows persons new to officiating to have an opportunity at the
formal instruction our camp provides to develop good mechanics. You will be notified if you are
selected, after which you will have seven (7) days to submit your non-refundable deposit fee of $300 to
the Big 12 Conference office. If your deposit fee is not received within that time, we will offer that space
to the next official on the waiting list. You will receive an email confirmation when your deposit fee is
received.
The second installment payment of $300 will be due no later than November 30, 2011 with the third and
final installment payment of $300 due no later than February 28, 2012. Hopefully this will make the cost
of the camp more affordable and easier for officials during times when other expenses create a seasonal
burden.
Room accommodations for four nights will be provided as part of the registration fee at the Crown Plaza
Hotel, 201 S. Shackleford, Little Rock, AR 72211 (501) 223-3000. The hotel provides complimentary
shuttle service to and from the Little Rock airport. Meals will be provided beginning with breakfast on
Thursday and concluding with breakfast on Sunday. Rooms will be assigned double occupancy and you
can list a preferred roommate on your registration. The camp will provide transportation to and from
practices and scrimmages. Any questions related to the camp can be directed to Tracy Hunt at the Big
12 Conference office. 469-524-1017 or tracy@big12sports.com.
Room accommodations for additional nights are the responsibility of each official and reservations need
to be made separately through the hotel.
The tentative schedule will be:
Wednesday, 7:00PM – 9:00 PM. Registration and hotel check-in.
Thursday, 8:00 AM – Breakfast. Hotel
Thursday, 9:00 AM – Position breakout video sessions
Thursday PM – Buses depart for team practices. Officials will be assigned to each campus.

Liberty Bell Football Officials Clinic
7th Annual Football Officials Clinic, May 12, 2012! Details to follow in January.
16th Annual Great Lakes Collegiate Football Officiating Clinic
Location: Holiday Inn / Comfort Inn Conference Center - East Lansing / Okemos, MI
Session: April 12,13,14 2012
This is our 16th annual clinic and we expect to have improved on the successful format of last year. The
Clinic will begin with registration from 10 AM - 12:30. Opening remarks will be at 1:30 pm. A dinner
meal on Thursday will be included as well.
By starting the clinic on Thursday afternoon we have added the needed time to enhance your classroom
experience. The clinic is divided into three stages. First we will have several breakout sessions regarding
collegiate rules and how they relate to the running, passing and kicking games. Participants will attend
each of these sessions. Secondly, we will address mechanics by breaking into 5 groups: Line of
scrimmage officials (LJ and HL), deep wing officials (FJ, SJ), Back Judges, Umpires, and Referees. Finally,
after a pre-game classroom session on Saturday morning, groups of officials will travel to a scrimmage
site where they will receive on-field instruction while working one of the spring scrimmages.
Clinic Location
For the past couple years we have not been at school site. We were quite satisfied with most phases of
the clinic at the Holiday Inn / Comfort Inn Conference Center, and have improved those areas that
needed attention. Its fine facilities and accommodating staff make it an ideal site for our classroom and
breakout mechanics and rules sessions. In addition, it’s central location to the colleges and universities
in the region provide a reasonable commute to our Saturday scrimmage sites.
Staff
The camp director is Dick Honig, a longtime collegiate official from Michigan with 38 years experience in
Division 1 football. As director, he understands the true value of any clinic experience is dependent
upon the quality of the instruction provided by the clinicians. Therefore, extra efforts are made to
assemble a staff that is passionate about passing on their knowledge of their profession. Clinicians this
year will be from the NFL, Big Ten, MAC, MVC, and the GLIAC. The staff of the Great Lakes Collegiate
Football Clinic will strive to deliver the best clinic experience possible.
On Field Instruction
This clinic is proud to work in conjunction with several universities and colleges. On Friday and Saturday,
14-16 officials (2-7 man crews + a couple extras) will be traveling to the area universities to have a pregame conference, work a spring scrimmage, and have a postgame video review with the instructors.
Participating schools have included: Central Michigan, WesternMichigan, Eastern Michigan, University of
Michigan, Wayne State, Grand Valley State, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Saginaw Valley, Ashland,
Findlay, Hillsdale, Toledo, and Michigan State University (participating schools are subject to change
based on the spring practice schedule). There will be at least 3 clinicians at each of the sites taking notes
on your performance for later review.
Post- Scrimmage Review
Following the scrimmage there will be a video review session of your performance. During this post
game review, the observers will critique your 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 video 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 college official. Each participant will be given a
certificate of participation as well as getting an e-mail copy of your evaluation (if not given to you at
the scrimmage site)
Application and Fees
You will need to complete the enclosed application and send it along with the appropriate fee. The full
fee includes two nights lodging, two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners, plus all clinic materials.
We will review the application and confirm acceptance by March 1, 2012. No acceptance will occur
without the completed application. (NOTE: Those that have attended a prior clinic do not need to send in
a resume and/or schedules.) Those not accepted for the full clinic will be offered the classroom portion
at a reduced fee of $200 (includes all meals but not the housing or on-field portion). Our space is very
limited and thus we may not be able to accept all applicants. We will accept those applicants who are (1)
the most likely to be moving from the High School level to the Collegiate level, or (2) those who are
working lower division college games and seek improvement
Host Hotel
Participants will be lodged at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites / Comfort Inn complex of
Lansing-Okemos. Lodging is included in the camp fees unless you opt to commute daily or choose the
classroom only option.

Forward Progress is a book written for aspiring football officials everywhere.
Regardless of your current level or abilities, Forward Progress is a MUST
READ for every football official who wants to improve his or her skills.
Let me tell you how this idea came about. You see I'm just like many of you
reading this. I live in Louisville, KY and I belong to the local football officiating
association. I've officiated football for seven years and I've worked in the
state playoffs for the past four years. I have dreams of "calling" football at the
Division 1 level. I've always been somewhat competitive and I like setting
goals and pushing myself to improve. In 2009 I was fortunate to be hired as a
supplemental official in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
(Div II). I worked 6 games last year as a deep wing official and have been
offered a full time position on a WVIAC crew for 2010 . But enough about
that, let me get back to the book.

Football Rules Study
If you are like me, reading and studying the rulebook can get old. Its like
reading a courtroom document or a legal brief! After an hour of study,
your mind is swimming in a sea of football terms and definitions.
Until now there have been no other options for football officials seeking
new and innovative ways to MASTER the Rulebook. You simply read the
rulebook, then read it again. Maybe you kept it in the bathroom, maybe
you had mini-study sessions during your lunch hour. Maybe you tried
putting it under your pillow and absorbing the rules through osmosis…!
