I have done this a couple of times. My agenda is below. First and foremost I try to get them to be comfortable blowing the whistle. In fact, I make them blow their whistle instead of raise their hand to ask a question. Then, I try to give accurate descriptions of each foul and violation they may actually have to call in the first few games. If you teach a group of thirty and end up up with 1 or 2 good recruits, call it a success.
Good luck! Best quick advice Blow your whistle Raise your arm (either hand or fist) Basics Coverage areas, angles, off-ball Mechanics Throw-in administration, jump administration, free throw administration Violations Travel, Double dribble, carry, out of bounds, back court, 3 seconds, backcourt, kick Fouls What is a foul? Displacement, RBSQ, Advantage/Disadvantage Types of fouls (demonstrate each one) Hold, Push, Illegal use of hands, Player control, Trip |

The question I have, is why don't you use already existing officials for this league? These kind of leagues are the way officials around here make some extra money and to fill out some parts of their schedule for younger officials?

Nothing wrong with that. I just ask because many leagues have gone to rules that allow them to have licensed officials work as a mandate. It makes little difference, but with liability always in the backdrop and time to teach others rules, that seems to be what is done here. I know there are some leagues that might have HS kids work or non-licensed adults, but it seems to the norm they contact an existing high school assignor or local officials association and use their officials. I get emails literally every day to work some league somewhere and cover everything from middle school to men's leagues in many places.
Peace

The concept of control -- player control, team control, no control -- and when control starts and ends. These affect so many other rules.

If my brief experiences with church leagues are any indication, those new officials had better practice their technical foul procedures

This really is a Church based league. You MUST attend church or you can not play. Many leagues do not have that rule. |

I took this list from 10-6-1, but I missed the last one (block):
Types of fouls (demonstrate each one) Hold, Push, Illegal use of hands, Player control, Trip, Block I'd love to update my training. How would you best summarize fouls for a short training? 10-6-1 A player shall not hold, push, charge, trip or impede the progress of an opponent by extending arm(s), shoulder(s), hip(s) or knee(s), or by bending his/her body into other than a normal position; nor use any rough tactics. |

Probably the most important point...
Teach them what defenders can legally do (i.e., verticality and moving to maintain LGP) and tell them to referee the defense. If the defense did nothing wrong, then they didn't foul. If there is enough contact for a foul and the defender didn't foul, then it is an offensive foul. If they can do that, they'll get most of the fouls correct. Leave the advanced concepts (such as Advantage/Disadvantage, etc.) for when they get more comfortable. It is enough at first just to see a basic foul and know what to do. Mechanically, just get them to box in the players and move to get a view through the play along with basic coverage areas.
