Football Training Class
Learn to be a High School Football Official
| The New Officials Football Class prepares the participant to officiate high school football games. The 8 week course includes classroom instruction on the rules of the high school football game and appropriate officiating mechanics. The mechanics sessions provide training on a football field to teach participants the correct mechanics (signals for the game, where officials should stand on the football field for maximum play coverage and crew communication practice) for high school games. The class provides sufficient training to obtain a football officiating license from the State of Illinois. | |

This class is presented by IACAO (Inter-Association Council of Athletic Officials) and is supported by the IHSA (Illinois High School Association). IACAO is an organization made up of 14 officials associations throughout northeast Illinois. Member officials of these associations officiate most IHSA sanctioned high school sports. IACAO's mission is to recruit, and train new as well as veteran high school sports officials in standardized methods and techniques of officiating high school sports.
