Manual of Football Officiating (19th edition, coil-bound)

The Manual of Football Officiating is the most comprehensive book ever written on the mechanics of football officiating. This is an encyclopaedia of the "best practices" of football officiating. The pages are devoted to individual positions, a pre-game, general principles and axioms, measurements, working with your chain crew, etc. It’s as comprehensive an officiating resource as any you will read. Combine this manual with your NFHS and NCAA/CFO manuals and you and your crew will be on the road to raising your game. Jim Briggs has provided football officials at every level with a clear, understandable, and detailed description of officiating mechanics which encompasses every component of the game. It most certainly is an invaluable tool for those who are motivated to become an even better, perhaps exceptional, official. It has been periodically revised since its first publication in 1984 and is now in its 19th edition.
