The SAGOA web site is again being used for
2009 for communication and storing of resources. This includes linking the SAGOA
Blogspot which has become useful in communicating to participants in our league.
While the web site becomes static during each year it is building up as a
resource to the coaching of officials at SAGOA. The information for 2007 and
2006 can still be found on the web site and the 2008 resources will be put on
the resource page as soon as they become available.
If you’re interested in becoming an official please contactÂ
(Coordinator of Officials).
This website is for officials who are members of SAGOA to help in their training
and updating of skills for the next season. In 2009 we are aiming to get new
officials into our group. The website will help new or interested persons to
view training material, read some rules and understand what an official needs to
do during a play. The resources will help empower officials to stand on the
field and make the best decision to ensure a fair game is had by all
participants. While every endeavour will be made to keep information up to date
and relevant it is to be used as a guide until specific training is conducted.
We provide a comprehensive training course for beginners and ongoing
training for experienced officials. We base our training on the AGOA
(Australian Gridiron Officials Association) model to work towards
becoming 'World Class Officials.' This is an accredited course which
muct be updated according to AGOA policy, which includes keeping a
record of attendance at trainings and at games. Many of our resources
are sourced via AGOA, NCAA and USA Conferences. We use a combination of
visual media to review plays and learn rules on many different
situations. |
