Question
I just completed my 2nd full season of High School Football officiating.  My feedback scores all indicate that I am performing at an advanced level. I enjoy it greatly, and would like to move to the college level.  I live in central Florida.  What steps should I take to advance?  Is there a web site to view clinics that will be held in 2009 - preferably in Florida?  Any other suggestions?

Answer
Brian, hello!

The Florida High School Assoiation can give you the contact people at the NCAA.  You can go to YourReferee.com and their magazine will get your in touch.  I've attached some websites to explore.

It would be awesome to call college games so continue to pursue the dream!

Merry Christmas!
