Gridiron Officials’ Football Camp is co-located with a new and increasingly popular Washington state high school football teams’ camp, the Tumwater Team Camp. The GOC:
- Is limited to 35 officials.
- Includes general liability and L&I insurance coverages.
- Features both classroom instruction (limited) and field instruction; plus scrimmages with high school teams.
- Will provide instructors, mentors and RTO Observers; includes a written Observer report and video. Instructors, mentors and observers have over 578 combined years of experience and have collectively worked more than 217 Semi-Finals or Championship games.
- Will use the Washington State Football Mechanics Manual for classroom and field instruction. We ask that you bring your copy of the manual. If you do not have a copy please let us know. For those officials attending from out-of-state, this manual is similar to Mechanics Illustrated as published by Referee.com.
- Features Stadium and practice football fields (turf & grass). Camp Officials can anticipate over 600 snaps.
- Camp position assignments will be made with every effort to assign you to your primary position, however if there are insufficient officials to make a full crew, you may be asked to work at your secondary position.
- Special lodging arrangements have been made with the Best Western (5188 Capitol Boulevard SE, Tumwater WA. Hotel Phone: 360.956.1235) which is a couple miles from Tumwater High School.
- The special room rate per night is $129.00 plus tax for all officials. When you call to make your reservations tell them that you are with the Gridiron Officials Camp to get the discounted rate. This is a first come first serve basis and the hotel fills up fast during this time of the year. We recommend making your reservations quickly.
- Officials can reserve their room by clicking on the link found below or on the Housing Options page.
