The Annual Wrestling Officials’ Clinic will be held at Elk River High School at 900 School Street. Registration is from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM with the rules meeting at 8:30. The clinic will end by 12:30 PM with no lunch provided. There is no cost!

The clinic will be held in conjunction with the Minnesota Wrestling Coaches Clinic. It will start with a joint session of the NFHS 2014-15 Rules Interpretation.

Following the joint session, the officials will meet separately and discuss topics pertinent to officiating. The clinic is targeted at Level 1 and Level 2/3 officials. These training sessions will meet your MSHSL requirement for advancement and maintenance of your classification.

General Sessions

There will be a number of general sessions presented by many of the known wrestling officials in Minnesota. They have valuable experience in officiating key matches and in the knowledge of the rules.

This year’s general sessions will focus on these areas:

  • Points of Emphasis
  • Social Media and Impact on Officials
  • Dealing with coaches and parents
  • Video of Wrestling Situations and Calls

This year there will also be a New Officials Basic Training Clinic in the Elk River Wrestling Room. It is very important that all new officials attend this.

This clinic also provides an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss wrestling officiating with officials throughout the state. If you are looking to join an association, there will be representatives there to talk to.

What you learn in the few hours of this clinic is more valuable than 2 or 3 years of officiating on your own.

There will be an additional training session at Farmington High School on Wed. Nov. 19, at 5 PM. Session will end by 9:00 PM. This session will not be as extensive as Elk River, but will concentrate on specific items pertinent to all levels of officials.
