Was there classroom time, if so how many years?
No, there was a training process, but that started a few years after my first year.
Were you assigned a mentor?
No, I wasn't assigned a mentor. Going into my first few years even up to now, my 7th year, I have had good friends who have become my mentors and have helped me out greatly.
What did you have to score on the NFHS test?
The standard in the state where I am at is 75 percent, I don't know if that is standard all across the country that uses FED rules.
Was there an evaluation process, if so what had to take place?
Yes, there were evaluations but they took place at the end of the season. As things have begin change for the better evaluations have become more and more part of the daily activities at games.
Any other requirements?
Nope
I hope this helps with what you are looking for. Each area of the country is different on how they train officials with technique and verbage, that is not in the case/rule book, but some things are still standard such as evaluation, rule knowledge, signals and of course being able to call the game!
Peace!
