08/03/22- Football Clinic Availability Reminder for Officials and Coaches

August 3, 2022 Football Blog Updates

Though the clinic has been online for access since July 27, the mandatory online KHSAA Rules Clinic for the sport of Football is officially available today, August 3.  The clinic is required of all officials as well as all coaches (varsity, junior varsity and freshman) whether or not the coach receives pay. Those that took the clinic before August 3 have already received credit for completion.

For member schools, the clinics are located on the School Log-in Page. To access the clinic, go to https://schools.khsaa.org/ and — under the section entitled Rules Clinics — click on the link that says “View Online Rules Clinics“.

For officials, login to the officials’ subdomain at https://officials.khsaa.org/.

OFFICIALS (Football)

• July 27 to September 22 (Officials) – the clinic will be online only and may be viewed at no charge during this period.
• September 23 to October 7 (Officials) – the clinic will be online only and may be viewed for the makeup fee ($30) during this period.
• October 8 to October 22 (Officials) – the clinic will be online only and may be viewed for the makeup fee ($60) during this period. After this time, postseason penalties per Bylaw 27 will apply.

COACHES (Football)

• July 27 to September 29 (Coaches) – the clinic will be online only and may be viewed at no charge during this period.
• September 30 to October 14 (Coaches) – the clinic will be online only and may be viewed for the makeup fee ($100) during this period.
• October 15 to October 29 (Coaches) – the clinic will be online only and may be viewed for the makeup fee ($200) during this period. After this time, postseason penalties per Bylaw 27 will apply.

The presentation can be viewed on most PC or Mac desktops and laptops, along with many HTML5-enabled mobile devices and tablets (to view system requirements click on the Resources tab from within the clinic once the clinic has started).

You will be required to advance each slide. Once you advance to the last slide of the presentation, you will be returned to the KHSAA website and will receive credit for the clinic (there are no “certificates” for completed online rules clinics). If the presentation is not completed, and you are not taken back to the KHSAA website at the end, you will not receive credit.

You should plan to complete the clinic in one setting (veterans will remember there was no intermission during the in-person meetings either). Individuals starting and not completing in that session will have the start of the clinic erased and will have to begin at the start when resuming.

Each person that views the clinic must be logged into their account in order to get credit. If taken using anyone else’s e-mail address other than your own (including your administrator’s), you will have to re-take the clinic.

If you have trouble logging into the system, contact the KHSAA office.
