Dealing with Adversity

When ….it hits the fan!

Rising to the Challenge



2012 6 Man Meeting

Adversity

Adversity comes in all shapes and sizes. It ranges in intensity from nuisance, to extreme distress, to conflict, or even crisis and chaos. Some adversity cannot be controlled such as weather and field conditions. Some adversity is self-imposed such as quick whistles. Some adversity can be managed, contained or minimized such as player or coach behaviour. Some adversity must be dealt with individually and some as a crew. The most important thing to remember is that it is going to happen. We must accept it, deal with it, and move on.

Prior to that you are dead ball officiating

If we all establish a pre-snap routine, work with our natural partners and do it every play we will establish consistency both as individuals and as crews.

Once that consistency is established, the pre-snap routine will become second nature and will be done without thought.

What does this all mean?

We can then anticipate the action of the play, but not the result. This will allow us to read and react to each and every play and complete our job successfully.

Tips for the Umpire

AFTER WALK AROUND!!

Watch the offence when they break the huddle. Know your block of 5..new#’s? 2nd string? incorrect #?..are you reporting? hold? procedure?

2 or 3 pt stance..different? always been doing it? Setting up for a pass?..screen?

Tips for the UmpireNow the fun begins!!

What's the guard doing?..read run or pass

Run? Pulling guard..trap blocking..straight ahead Watch for holding..and look for ball carrier/QB Where's it going?

Pass? Line comes out and up and back (usually) (A) Receivers coming across middle..linebackers..lead blocks? Backs coming late or out to the side after zone has been cleared D-backs and maybe linebackers going to ball..from behind you Don't move to the ball too quickly Don't go outside hash marks Work into a position to see what's going on…tackle, facemask, blocking .. move down field Be ready to mark the spot IF side guys are blocked out Be aware of what's going on around the ball carrier/receiver….late hits etc. (B) Long pass down field..know that's what it is and turn back to see what's going on with the linemen... If you miss read the pass(long) and turn and have gone down field.. Either..a) Keep going..play may come back into the middle or b) Turn back and see what the linemen are up to

Tips for the UmpireNow the fun begins!!

Make sure you give ball carrier every inch they deserve..but that's all. (Work out spot with side guys PRE-GAME) If you have the ball dead farther up..signal to side guy I've got the spot up here Same for the side guy..nobody cares..nobody sees it..if you communicate

Be VERBAL..let the players know: you are there what's going on play is over ball is away preventative officiating
