Officials, do you belong to the Indiana Football Officials Association? You should! The IFOA is the one statewide organization for Indiana football officials. The clinic they hold every June is the premier event of its type in the Midwest. The IHSAA has modeled its certification clinics after the IHSAA clinic. The IFOA also provides valuable in-season rules and mechanics help for football officials in the form of its Play of the Day and weekly mechanics training videos distributed to all members. The IFOA provides each of its members a Hudl account, and it was the IFOA in cooperation with the Indiana Football Coaches Association that made it possible for the Hudl video share that is now a part of many officials’ regular in-season preparation. If you’re an official looking for a crew, the IHSAA can help. Ditto if you’re a crew that needs to pick up a replacement, or new member. You can also find games, as the IFOA maintains a service that allows schools to advertise their need for officials.
This season, 45 of the 48 crews working a sectional final were IFOA crews. The results in previous years were similar. That is not a coincidence.
