THE ON-FIELD REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED!
REGISTRATION FOR THE CLASSROOM-ONLY PORTION OF THE CLINIC WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL JUNE 12, 2022.
The inaugural OAFO Black Swamp Officiating Clinic will be held on June 17, 2022 in Perrysburg, Ohio. The clinic will include instruction through large group sessions, classroom instruction, as well a review of mechanics, philosophy, and film. The clinic is proud to announce a partnership with the NWO All-Star Football Game. The clinic will provide the officials for this game, allowing participants to receive game reps and an evaluation from their clinicians. There are only 32 on-field spots available for this year’s clinic, with 4 officials assigned to each position to work the game. All other participants will still attend the game and receive instruction from clinicians while officials are working. All proceeds from this clinic will be donated to the Toledo/Wistert chapter of the National Football Foundation.
Who: All High School and NCAA officials are encouraged to attend
What: Classroom and on-field learning clinic
Where: Perrysburg Junior High School & Steinecker Stadium (Perrysburg, OH)
When: June 17, 2022 (Clinic 12:30-5:30pm, All-Star Game 7:00pm kickoff)
Cost: $75 (On-Field), $50 (Classroom Only) - This includes classroom instruction, box lunch for dinner, and clinic gift, and admission to the NWO All-Star Game.
The clinic will be a combination of large-group and breakout sessions by position. The clinic will feature clinicians who are former and current officials from the NFL, B1G, MAC, Missouri Valley, and Mountain East Conferences. At the end of the clinic there will be a box lunch provided where you will eat with your “crew” and present a brief pregame before going to work the NWO All-Star Game. This gives you the opportunity to work live reps and receive immediate evaluation from NFL and NCAA officials and scouts.
Because of the limited on-field spots available, don’t wait to register! If you are not one of the officials working the game, your registration covers your admission and you will still be learning from the clinicians with mechanics and philosophy instruction.
Below you will find a list of clinician's on the growing list of veterans planning on attending and providing instruction. Conferences represented by clinicians or observers will include the NFL, Big Ten, MAC, OVC, Missouri Valley, GMAC, GLIAC, NCAC, and OAC.
