Behind The Flag™ presents the 3rd Annual Football Official’s Spring Forum. The Forum will be conducted by and taught by current NFL, Division I, and Division II Football Officials actively officiating in the BIG12, SEC, PAC12, United, Rocky Mountain (RMAC) Conference, and LoneStar Conference. 

This year’s theme is “Identifying the Officiating Standard” as we break down video, learn the replay standards, and review mechanics.

The forum is a NMOA sanctioned camp for NMOA Football Officials and this forum meets the requirements for post-season eligibility as governed by the NMOA constitution and By-Laws.

The NMOA will receive a list of New Mexico Football officials who attend this forum as part of the officials 2024 training. Each participant will receive a forum gift (Football Swag), and are expected to ask questions, network with other officials, and have fun. 

With the support and mentorship of our clinicians, several New Mexico High School Football Officials have been promoted into the RMAC, LoneStar, and EAIFO Conferences to officiate at the NAIA, Junior College, Division III, and Division II levels and have successfully being assigned post-season assignments. 


Take the next step in your officiating path to success!
