(3 minutes prior to kickoff) All
officials enter the field together, at least 30 minutes prior to kickoff Know
the down and distance prior to each snap – signal to crew Be
alert for unusual plays, no huddle, and quick snap plays Use
preventive officiating where possible – let players know you are there Be
alert to happenings away from the ball Call
time out for any player who appears to be injured or have visible cuts or blood. Never hurry the treatment of an injured player See
everything you call – but don’t call everything you see Don’t
not reach for your flag unless you intend to drop it Continue
to officiate after dropping flag Keep
your whistle out of your mouth until it must be blown – always see the ball before you blow the whistle Be
deliberate in ruling on a fumble Always
call out the recovering team color – the referee will give the direction Use
numbers and colors of teams – no names Make
good signals Be
mentally and physically prepared to work the game Hustle
and be in proper position to make a correct call Timing rule differences (NFLvs NHSF) (Already
covered by timer, but worth emphasizing) Game length:
