My association has started a new training program this year and I have been asked/selected to be the crew chief for the crew. I am excited about the concept and think that we have the potential to succeed.
The basic principle is this - take one official that is an excellent teacher w/ over 20 years of NCAA, NFHS experience, match him with 6 guys with less than 4 years experience. Make one of the more experienced guys with leadership experience (me w/ 3 years officiating experience). Train these 6 guys over the course of the next 2 years utilizing Jr. High and JV games. In 2 years, the 2 other experienced guys will be ready to start "training crews" of their own and the 3 rookies will be ready to work Friday nights.
My problem - I never worked the R position on my old crew and I was gone for a year b/c of military service. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
