A Great Website to Help all Football Officials

The CFO website , which stands for college football officiating, is a tremendous site for every official no matter if you are just starting college football, or a seasoned pro. The CFO website can also be good for high school officials if you are actively thinking about rule changes between the college and high school games. If you want a great book on the differences between college (NCAA) and high school (NFHS) I highly recommend the newest edition of “Football Rule Differences” by Paul Whiteside, George Demetriou and Jeffrey Stern. The book does a great job of breaking down all the differences in a way that makes sense. Find the most recent book here .  Anyways, back to the CFO website. They post weekly quizzes during the football season to help test your rules knowledge. They will usually post between five and ten quizzes during the offseason to keep officials fresh on the rules. But beyond the rules, they offer some of the best, or most helpful, videos out there. The vide...

How to Best Take the Football Rules Quizzes and Tests

Taking football officiating quizzes and tests can be one of the hardest parts of the whole season for many officials. I personally find the tests to be the hardest. But why are they so hard and what are some tips to help you through them? Let me try and help you out with that question. To start, many great officials struggle on tests.

About me blog

My name is Bill and I am a senior in College. I have been officiating football now for 6 years. In those six years, I have officiated pee-wee, JV high school, varsity high school, JV College, and varsity college football. Beyond my personal experience of officiating, my dad has also been an official for much longer than I have been alive. As a kid growing up, I would always watch my dad's football games on TV and talk to him after the game. My dad has taught me more things about officiating than I may have learned in a whole career of officiating football. However, many new officials do not have the experience of growing up around officiating.  Being a current football official who started very young, I understand first-hand what it can be like to start something new that you have never done before. Especially as an official where you have many eyes constantly watching and waiting for you to make a mistake. I have seen many young officials get scared off from pursuing officia...
