IACO Football
The purpose of IACO shall be to foster and promote amateur athletic sports by providing for the recruitment, training and ongoing education of amateur athletic sports officials. The NOA is an IACO member and we should all take advantage of the training and education provided by IACO. Here are some upcoming football training opportunities.
IACO New Officials football class - This free class is geared for those either brand new to football officiating or who have 1-4 years experience and want to accelerate their learning curve. The 6 week course includes classroom presentations and game film analysis on rules, penalty enforcement, and game timing plus on-field instruction on proper mechanics/positioning. Those completing the class will have the opportunity to officiate games this coming season. A local site for this class is Libertyville High School and is taught by our own Darrell Schrag and Jim Bernardi among others. The first class is July 9th.
