BITS,
I too am a "bear of little brain" and I just gave one of those clinics a couple weeks ago for a group of HS kids who were going to officiate elementary age ball. Your outline is pretty much what I followed and I also included communication and reminded them about making eye contact with partners over and over and over.
I used an overhead projector to diagram basic court positioning and line coverage etc. and it helped in answering a couple of their questions. I also brought a bag of candy and tossed them a piece every team they answered a basic question correctly. It seemed to make them a little more relaxed and we had real good interaction and a lot of fun.
I think 30 minutes in the class and 60 minutes on the floor is about right. Our association used to have some videos (I think they were from NFHS) but they just put everyone to sleep. I think "live" teaching is better.
