Field Clinics
Section 1.350 of the FHSAA Officials Guidebook states that the FHSAA each year will coordinate weekend field clinics for FHSAA officials on a regional basis throughout the state. These clinics provide in-depth classroom instruction in the mechanics of officiating, as well as an opportunity for on-the-field training.
Attendance at these field clinics is mandatory as follows:
(a) All officials registering for the first time during the 2000-01 school year or thereafter must attend a field clinic in their sport(s) within a three-year period; and
(b) All officials who were registered prior to the 2000-01 school year must attend a field clinic in their sport(s) within a four-year period.
Officials who do not meet these minimum field clinic attendance requirements will not be eligible for assignment to officiate an FHSAA State Series contest. Twelve (12) supplemental points on the promotional scale will be awarded each official who attends a Field Clinic.
Field Clinic registration fees are as follows: Advance registration fee $40 (except $50 for baseball, basketball and softball) On-site registration fee $50 (except $60 for baseball, basketball and softball)
Prior to registering for a Field Clinic in a sport, an individual official must be registered in that sport. Online registration will be available by logging on to your iFHSAA account and making payment using a visa or mastercard. Both the Application for Registration as a Contest Official and the Field Clinic Registrations must be received/submitted online by the FHSAA Office not later than 5 p.m. 14 days prior to the date of the Field Clinic. Field Clinic Registrations must be properly completed in order to be processed. Officials who do not meet the 14-day deadline and who wish to attend a Field Clinic must register on site. Confirmation emails will be sent to those officials registering to attend the Field Clinic prior to the 14-day deadline who meet the registration requirements.
