I'm currently a member of the TASO San Antonio Football Officials Chapter, and am more than willing to share our educational materials with my fellow "Maineiac" football officials. I'm currently stationed here in San Antonio Texas with the United States Air Force. Second question, I'm close to retirement and I'm looking for information about football associations in the Kennebec Valley area (August, Gardiner, Winthrop, etc., etc.) and possibly Bangor. Any information or links you can send to me via email are appreciated. And is it true, you all just now moving to 5-man crews for HS football? And is that state wide, or just in Bangor? At any rate, don't hesitate to contact me for training materials, etc. Hello fellow football officials.
