This year, the board has made several significant changes to the clinic format as well as the overall NNFOA preseason schedule. In 2011, the certification test will be conducted during the clinic on Saturday morning. The idea behind this change is hopefully increase test scores by encouraging officials to begin their study efforts in advance rather than cramming for two weeks between the clinic and the test date. Due to this change, all crew chiefs, executive board members and other veterans will be holding several study sessions prior to the clinic. All preseason rules and study material will be distributed at the preseason social at the Little Wal on Wednesday, June 22^nd.

Cost is $95 ($85 if paid by May 31^st, 2011) which includes all rulebooks, clinic materials as well as breakfast both days, lunch, and dinner on Saturday night .

Please remember that attendance is mandatory at both days of the clinic for all returning officials unless prior board approval has been received. Information presented at our annual clinic is critical to the continued success of our association. Anyone who is unable to attend this clinic will be required to attend a board-approved high-school only clinic or they will not be assigned during the 1^st assignment period and will not receive Playoff assignments.
