Updated Agenda Coming Soon
The Next Level Football Officiating Camp will be like no other camp you have ever experienced in the Birmingham area. We have organized a tremendous group of NFL Officials, College Coordinators/ Supervisors and Elite College officials to serve as clinicians. Clinicians who are excited to offer their officiating tips and game management nuggets to help you become a better official.
