About

The purpose of this New Officials Orientation is to provide new(er) officials with the foundational knowledge necessary to be successful on the field. There are a handful of lessons in this orientation, but that is only the beginning of your “syllabus.” You should also review all lessons in the Rules, Fouls, and Mechanics sections and should review the Wing information in the Positional Training section. Also, ensure you look in the Resources section to download valuable documents and information sheets.
