  1. Linesman and Linejudge Positioning Based on the 2008-09 NFHS Officials Manualand CCAFO Mechanic’s Addendumby Ron PatryCCAFO

  2. Begin each play positioned on the sidelines keeping coaches and players back Or 9 yards from the widest receiver Most circumstances, not past the bottom of the numbers (9 yard marks) When in doubt, line up on the sideline and work your way in Where do I line up?

  3. GOAL LINE PLAYS: ball is snapped on the opposite hash, 2 tight ends – line up bottom of the numbers but be ready to come in hard CLOSE TO A FIRST DOWN : ask the Umpire to HAND you the ball (not throw it) and you put it at your feet DO NOT come in so hard you loose sight of the ball or run into players, meet first resistance and keep your head up but always : SEE THE BALL ! COME IN HARD

  4. Game is a blowout and getting chippy – let them know you are there every play QB is taking a knee (usually at the end of game or half) Immediately after a P.A.T. Fellow official may be injured or “challenged” and you need to cover more ground When do I REALLY need to come in hard or line up closer?

  5. RB R RB RB QB L TE T G C G T TE LJ U BJ Ball is in the center of the field, 2 tight ends T.E.’s are on the hash, we are on the sidelines (notice your keys)

  6. GOAL LINE GOING IN – 2 t.e. could be on the field (nobody behind you) get to the pylon ; come in hard SEE THE BALL and make the call BJ U TE T G C L T TE G LJ QB RB RB RB R

  7. 2 T.E.. Opposite hash R RB B B QB C E LJ TE T T G G L U BJ L – at least 9 yards from widest rec.. Bottom of the numbers Very unusual formation – 2 tight ends opposite hash – what if back goes in motion? QB goes in motion? ADJUST

  8. Begin the play on the sideline or 9 yards from the widest receiver but not past the bottom of the numbers ADJUST : to the situation, a man in motion, shifts or changes in the formation that change your initial positioning When in doubt, start on the sideline Summary – Wing Positioning

  9. Plays that require you to come in hard EVERY TIME : goal line situations, close to a first down, players are getting “chippy”, blowouts, QB taking a knee Because you start on the sideline, does not mean you are anchored there or end up there You MUST make your presence known early in game to set the tone: physically and verbally 5 man crew need to work together as 5 men Summary – Wing Positioning cont.
