10 to 12 yards behind line of scrimmage, favors right side (if quarterback is right-handed passer). Determines legality of snap, observes deep back(s) for legal
motion. On running play, observes quarterback during and after handoff, remains with him until action has cleared away, then proceeds downfield, checking on
runner and contact behind him. When runner is downed, Referee determines forward progress from wing official and, if necessary, adjusts final position o up legality

responsibility to rule on kickers actions and whether or not any subsequent contact by a defender is legal. The Referee stays wide and parallel on punts and will
announce on the microphone when each period has ended.
Umpire - Primary responsibility to rule on players equipment, as well as their conduct and actions on scrimmage line. Lines up approximately four to five yards
downfield, varying position from in front of weakside tackle to strongside guard. Looks for possible false start by offensive linemen. Observes legality of contact by
both offensive linemen while blocking and by defensive players while they attempt to ward off blockers. Is prepared to call rule infractions if they occur on offense or
defense. Moves forward to line of scrimmage when pass play develops in order to insure that interior linemen do not move illegally downfield. If offensive linemen
indicate screen pass is to be attempted, Umpire shifts his attention toward screen side, picks up potential receiver in order to insure that he will legally be permitted
to run his pattern and continues to rule on action of blockers. Umpire is to assist in ruling on incomplete or trapped passes when ball is thrown overhead or short. On
punt plays, Umpire positions himself opposite Referee in offensive backfield - 5 yards from kicker and one yard behind.

track of number of downs and is in charge of mechanics of his chain crew in connection with its duties. Linesman must be prepared to assist in determining forward

motion and on flight of ball when pass is made (he must rule whether forward or backward). Line Judge has primary responsibility to rule whether or not passer is
behind or beyond line of scrimmage when pass is made. He also assists in observing actions by blockers and defenders who are on his side of field. After pass is
thrown, Line Judge directs attention toward activities that occur in back of Umpire. During punting situations, Line Judge remains at line of scrimmage to be sure
that only the end men move downfield until kick has been made. He also rules whether or not the kick crossed line and then observes action by members of the
kicking team who are moving downfield to cover the kick. The Line Judge will advise the Referee when time has expired at the end of each period. Also assists
referee with intentional grounding and determines whether pass is forward or backward.

Beginning with the 2014 season, the NCAA now allows any conference that wishes to use the eight official
system to do so, adding the position of Center Judge (C), who positions in the offensive backfield opposite
the Referee (like the Umpire now does in the NFL).
Our Head Football Coach will be the only representative of our football team to speak
(either directly or indirectly) to any game official on the field during the course of a game
regarding any game situation/ruling/decision/call/etc.
Whenever the head coach does speak to any game official, he shall do so in as courteous
and respectful a tone and manner as possible.
All team representatives will refrain from addressing or speaking any and all game officials
anywhere off the field of play, other than to greet or thank them as graciously as possible.
REMINDERS:
Game officials are our equals they are here to provide and perform just as valuable
and important role as any team administrator, coach, player, or supporter.
As we err, so might they in that instance, we must afford them the same respect,
understanding, empathy and support we would hope to have reserved for ourselves!
The game officials are the neutral parties!!! We (the team administrators, coaches,
players and supporters) are the ones with the vested interests, so theirs must be the
benefit of any doubt!!!
THE COLLISION: As you come to the point of contact, accelerate through the ball make contact
with your chest, punch your arms up through his armpits, snap your butt and roll your hips into the ball
carrier, keep your legs driving and pumping.
THE FINISH: Envelope, grab cloth, squeeze with your armsand continue to drive your legs!!
Get after people on every play, and OUT HIT THEM!
Once you see the ball, come full speed not half speed!
Youve got to want to get in on the hit on every defensive play!!
TACKLING
This is what defensive football is all about! You cant beat a defender whos going full speed toward the ball
carrier. This is where playing the best defense youre capable of gains respect for you as a football player, and for
us as a football team. If you can tackle aggressively and effectively in every game, opponents will let down when
they play us! Every part of every tackle is important an assisted tackle is just as important as a solo tackle! If
eleven defenders are flying to the ball on every play well get as many of us as possible on the ball carrier
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
NEVER
hit with your head!!
Do not lead with your head - the
MAIN POINT and FORCE of contact
MUST be your shoulder or chest!
Leading with your head or shoulder is an ineffective way to tackle. Countless times, weve seen defenders go in for a
so-called kill shot only to bounce off the ball carrier and end up on the ground. When you leave your feet and try to
deliver a single blow, you violate the number one rule of tackling: hit, envelope and run through. For this reason, no
rational football coach has ever taught his players to tackle using helmet-to-helmet contact.
To prevent being penalized, injured or simply run over by a ball carrier, use these tackling guidelines:
- See what you hit. Focus your eyes directly on the ball carriers chest.
- Lead with your chest, not your head or shoulder, to tackle in squared-up fashion.
- Do not leave your feet; keep them driving through the ball carrier.
- Keep your hips below your shoulders. Begin low and rise through the tackle.
- Shoot your arms UP, grab cloth, drive your legs!!!
