We will have a 2-day classroom teaching basic replay booth mechanics along with 1 on 1 coaching.  Our target audience is High School officials as well as NCAA officials on the field interested in making the transition to replay. Our topics will include:

  • Replay 101 – Learning the philosophy of replay
  • Communication – Learning the language of replay (how to communicate in the booth and with the field)
  • Booth Mechanics – Creating a rhythm with cadence / Pre-Snap routine
  • Game Simulation with 1 on 1 coaching
