ANEFO New Rules and Pre-Game Conference – August 30, 2021

September 4, 2021 //  by Tommy Brow

Richard Cacciatore, President, presided at the second in-person ANEFO meeting of the 2021 Football Season on Monday, August 30, 2021 before a packed house of officials at the Irish-American Club.  President Cacciatore greeted the members and discussed various updates about the upcoming football season.  The handouts from each of the guest speakers can be found below.

Tom Brow, Rules Interpreter, was one of two guest speakers.  Tom presented a visual presentation that included the new NFHS rules for the 2021 season, a definition of blocking below the waist, and an explanation of the free blocking zone.  Once you start his video presentation, there will appear a [-] symbol in the bottom right corner. It is important that you select the [-] symbol to see the video in full screen. 

Brian Dunn was the second guest speaker.  Brian shared how he conducts a thorough pre-game conference.  His presentation included some and/or all of the following topics: coin toss, kickoff, running plays, pass plays, punts, field goal attempts, extra points, penalties, measurements, the clock and other things to be aware as a crew.

At the end of the meeting, there was an opportunity for ANEFO members to ask some excellent questions.  During his closing remarks, President Cacciatore wished everyone good luck during the upcoming season.
