Our state mandated "mechanics meeting" is conducted with classroom instruction and a freebie scrimmage
The set-up is two freshman and two varsity teams placed in two separate gymnasia at one high school. The clock is running for 5 minutes--which goes by really fast. Each crew of refs works 2 x 5 min periods and is critiqued by 'veteran refs' after the conclusion of each of your first and second 5 min periods {ostensibly to see if you can implement the critique they gave you after the first 5 min session}. You would then sign a "participation card" that is turnt into the State for proof of attendance. The cost to an individual ref is "time and gas"; the benefits are better mechanics and visibility. No pay is given, but they did have Gatorade in big ole ice chest for us.
