Following the successful bid to Sport England for Impact and
Improvement funding, BAFA are planning to hold a series of American
football Official training courses. These courses are aimed at the
beginner official. The goal of the course is to train attendees to a
level where they are competent to officiate American Football.
The
courses will each consist of one day of face-to-face learning. Three of the
courses will be for those interested in officiating contact football, the
fourth will be for officiating flag football.
The courses will be held on
the following dates:
13th March (contact football)
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
27th March (contact football) Hatfield, Herts
27th
March (contact football) Bristol
27th March (flag football) Meriden,
Warwickshire
Attendees will receive a Rulebook, Mechanics
Manual and an Induction Training Manual.
The shortfall in suitably qualified
officials has been identified as one of the key priorities within BAFA, and with planned tightening of regulation regarding who can officiate in games teams are encouraged to support in the identification of people who could attend these courses.
