2026 CFOA Training Videos & Rules Bulletins

Welcome to the 2026 football season!

As we prepare for another exciting year on the field, now is the perfect time to refresh your rules knowledge and mechanics. The California Football Officials Association (CFOA) has produced several outstanding training videos covering penalty enforcement, communication, player eligibility, formations, and CIF overtime procedures.

Whether you're a rookie official or a veteran, these videos are excellent preseason review and valuable in-season references.

We encourage every LBFOA member to take the time to watch each presentation before the season begins.

Officials should review these videos before the opening week of the season and revisit them throughout the year. A solid understanding of penalty enforcement, communication, and mechanics helps ensure consistency across every crew and every game.
