I'm giving a presentation on force (touchback and safety) tonight at our weekly meeting so hopefully I got this right...
May the force be with you...

Looks right to me.
BTW: Can you fill me in on how your organization runs its training for officials? I noted your response about "weekly meeting." Do you meet once a week throughout the year or just as the FB season approaches? How are the "presentations" handled?
Thanks!

Hi there Kent. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Our association has about 30 members. We do the semi-pro games in our county (May-July), high school (6 schools) and Pop Warner (about 15 teams). We start meeting in July every Tuesday night. A few years back we joined the California football association for the training materials (but we are officially part of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association). This year our presenter (I fill in for him sometimes) prepared an outline to cover all the basics before the start of the season (about 8 meetings). We try to cover the most important rules and then discuss the mechanics necessary to cover each type of play. So its a very basic application geared towards getting the guys to master the rules with an eye towards practical use with mechanics.
We give tests weekly but only as homework and then the guys turn them in to be graded. Then instead of wasting a lot of time reviewing the tests in class the instructor will focus on the questions that get missed a lot. These will be covered at the next class and the answers with rule references will be passed out.
