Football Position Power: Working the Umpire Position

The umpire lives in traffic. You're reading blocking schemes, watching for illegal formations, checking snap legality, all while staying out of the play.

 It's one of the hardest positions to master and one of the most important to get right. Football Position Power: Working the Umpire Position covers everything that makes interior officials effective: where to stand, what to watch, how to move, and how to process what you see. Written for high school football officials ready to own the position, not just fill it.

• Positioning and movement for all crew sizes 
• Point of attack reads and coverage keys
• Illegal formation and snap legality checks
• Penalty enforcement responsibilities
