Best Practices & Training Resources

This is a library of items which go beyond the rulebook, with detailed information, procedures, and tips on the conduct of events and the management of officials and competitions.

  • “Best Practices” are generally 1 or 2 page documents about a specific officiating discipline, suitable for placement on clipboards for ready reference.

  • “Resources” are larger items such as monographs, videos, presentations, etc.

We welcome your ideas for new items or changes to existing materials. Send your inputs to the Best Practices Editor, Lisa Colvin.
