waltjp Hey Joe, Did you get any films from that clinic? Mr Camp promised me some and I've seen him a few times since the Liberty Bell but so far, zilch!
waltjp Hey Big, Where are you located? Most guys here are very helpful. There are some films available too. Find someone you're comfortable with and ask questions. Most people will be happy to share what they know. And as Joe said, there are clinics available. If you're lucky you'll get to meet some of the folks that frequent this place.
MJT When you watch NCAA or NFL games and see a penalty. Think like you are the referee and say what the penalty is, the distance, and the enforcement spot if it was a HS game. This will keep you busy thru January. Good stuff from the guys above also.
bossman72 Try and get some on-field coaching. You can look at rule books and case books until you're blue in the face, but until you see it happen in real life, you don't have the best understanding of a rule.
BigFarns Thanks for the input everyone. I'll make sure to contact the AD about film. I do work some Varsity but never the games big enough for TV. Usually the smaller schools right now which is fine with me. I live in New England so if anyone knows a good clinic in that area I'd be very grateful if you pointed me in that direction...though I guess google would tell me too 🙂 Anyhow, thanks for all the replies.

I also recall them telling us they would be sending a DVD of the breakouts. I know someone was filming but like I said I haven't heard anything. My mentor has reached out to me and we're supposed to have a "film session" sometime this season as a small group but that's it. BTW - good luck in getting a playoff assignment. Let me know if they send you to our district for the semi's or final round.

Of course we're always hopeful but we've made a couple of changes on the crew for this season. Our collective inexperience may work against us. Let me know where you end up.
ref18 Attend Pre-Games, and then have fun with the crew This year I think I attended around 7 or 8 college pre-games and then went drinking with the crew and supervisor after the game. you'll learn more at the bar than you will watching the game 😉
