Yes, anyone can attend. Out of the 90+ officials attending we had Rookies to Grizzled Old Timers. I guess I could be best described as a Grizzled Old Time Rookie LOL. Anyway, as a second year guy I learned a great deal at this camp. The mechanic training was invaluable and because of it I was afforded the opportunity to work semi-pro ball when a vacancy opened up last year. They gave us plenty of opportunity to Network with supervising officials from the NFL, NCAA and AFL2 leagues. This Networking is a must if one has plans of moving up to these levels.
The big plus for me was working with players and officials way above any level I will never attain. Kind of like a Fantasy Officials Camp for old guys. So my thoughts are to GO FOR IT!
