  1. PRE-POST SNAP RESPONSIBILITIES BY BORIS CHEEK 2012 TOM BEARD CLINIC

  2. GUIDELINES/SUGGESTIONS FOR FJ & SJ • These are just some thoughts and suggestions that may be beneficial to “things” you do while working to put yourself in the best position to officiate the plays of your position. • It is important that you understand what and how your conference wants various plays and or violations called.

  3. THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE KICK OFF Talk with the special teams coach about any special plays or blocking schemes. Introduce yourself to the “get back coach.” Ask him for help, especially on kick offs and punts.

  4. Kick Off Count players and get confirmation for 11 players with the official on opposite side of the field. Line up on the back of the white—see the ball kicked and let kickers go by. Move briskly downfield approx. 10-12 yards. Keep your head on a swivel!

  5. On Side Kicks • A few reminders about positioning • Stay still and focused on responsibilities • Back up further off the white to get a wider look • Remember if the LJ & HL move up in between to help, then the SJ & FJ have to hustle deep if the ball is kicked long.

  6. Scrimmage Plays Always count players and repeat if necessary Be aware of down and distance Line up 20-22 yards from the line of scrimmage If the line of scrimmage 25 yd. line going in – FJ & SJ at goal line. LOS 5-7 yd. line going in – FJ at goal line. SJ at end line (NFL mechanic)

  7. Scrimmage Plays • Belt buckle facing receiver • Position in white sideline area [Discuss] • Widest receiver on end of the line • Widest receiver is Tight End- step up and get a wider view • When in the team bench area, consider starting on the back of the white, this helps keep coaches back. After the ball is snapped then move closer to the side line.

  8. When lined up around the 15 yard line move toward the back of the white and open your stance so as to get a feel for the pylon. You can side step to the goal line/pylon from that distance. Scrimmage Plays

  9. Goal Line LOS outside 10 yd. line-position yourself on back of white LOS inside 10 yd. line-our position off white and in the green Sideline/pylon plays-eye contact with LJ or HL Sideline catch in End Zone-FJ or SJ pivot at goal line to view feet and catch [do not block view of help from LJ or HL] Catch deep in end zone near corner or end line slide down side line and stay wide

  10. End Line • Formations will determine how we line up before the snap on the end line corner. • Tight End is the widest-line up at back of side line white, even with end line [give you a good look through TE release or block • Widest man flexed in side the #’s-line up at corner of white, so as to be able to move in either direction as dictated by the action of the receiver • Widest man flexed at #’s or wider-line up at back of white looking down the sideline-this puts us in the best position to officiate the quick fade to the sideline/corner • If they don’t throw the fade, then step up to the corner to be able to help with both lines

  11. Punts Always count receiving team Primary key is flyer on your side of the field Stay deep as or deeper than Back Judge LOS 50 yd. line and in FJ & SJ on goal line Do not move forward until receiver has advanced up field Punts out of bounds in air [signal-stop clock] -Ball lands in white-FJ or SJ take it -Ball flies out of bounds-move up field briskly hand in air and take line up off referee

  12. Miscellaneous Items Keep your cushion-always try to be 10 to 12 yds. From player action Accordion toward player-keep your presence Physically & verbally Don’t Blink for 7-10 seconds Concentrate for 7-10 seconds Posture and Stance-Parade rest hands by side Help with new ball if necessary [under hand toss]
