Get into bad habits now, they are hard to break later. that is IMO. This is where you turn your warm body into a great official..

The problem with what you are saying is you assume that everyone is only working NF mechanics during the regular season. A lot of people that work during the summer are exposed to Pro rules and mechanics, NCAA mechanics and BTW, NF mechanics. Unless this was a camp environment, I would not think "training" would be the proper route.
I can speak mainly for me but I know it applies to others. I think it is overrated what we do during the summer as building bad habits. I know many officials that can do things during the summer they would not do during the regular season and you would never know it. If the use of mechanics created bad habits, then when I work 2 person or 1 person during the summer, I would be at a total lost when I work 3 person the entire regular season. It really is not that hard to overcome what you do in the summer.
