Weekly post - a day early

[ref18]

In our association, at the beginning of september the newbies do a level 1 clinic. They take a day when our minor football league has exhibition games, and do a classroom type clinic, and then put the new officials on field with a vetran shadowing them.

Then we have 6 training meetings during the year for all officials where rules and plays are brought up and discussed along with other officiating related issues. Attendence at the meetings is strongly encouraged and almost all officials attend these meetings.
