The SAOA will be holding its annual Level 1 and Level 2 Football clinics on Saturday, August 8th at the Jon Davis Wrestling Center at Edwardsville High School. Registration will open at 7:30 am with the clinic starting at 8:00 am. In order to get credit with the IHSA you will need to stay through the end at 12:00. We will be having a social afterwards at a location TBD.
For newer officials, the highlight of the Level 1 clinic will be on EHS’s football field with veteran officials going over the various position mechanics. New officials will also have the opportunity to meet the assignors for a number of local schools and have a chance to purchase uniforms and equipment from Officials Only.
For those that register prior to the clinic, dues will be waived for all first-year officials with the IHSA.
In our Level 2 clinic, we will have IHSA certified clinicians and veteran officials presenting updated modules prepared by the IHSA office. For those officials not currently on a crew, this will be a great opportunity to meet crew chiefs and assignors.
Feel free to contact Bob Holshouser or Jason Unverzagt if you have any questions. Contact info is available on the SAOA website.
