Clinic Information
The clinic is for P.A. announcers who announce junior high/middle school, high school, college and youth football.Substitute announcers, as well as high school and college students, who would like to learn how to announce or who are announcing, are encouraged to register.
Jeff Kurtz, who has been a professional sports public address announcer for 27 years and who is the voice of the Kent State University Golden Flashes, will be the clinician. Kurtz has served as the P.A. announcer for more than 50 Mid-American Conference collegiate championship tournaments and NCAA D-I playoff contests and events. His high school announcing resume includes numerous Ohio State High School Athletic Association State Championships and Playoffs. At the professional level, he is in his seventh season as press-box media announcer for the Cleveland Browns, and has served as the P.A. announcer for the Cleveland Indians. He is also the athletic director at Hudson Middle School and assistant athletic director of Hudson High School in Hudson, Ohio.
In addition to learning how to properly announce football, the clinic will cover other aspects of announcing, including sportsmanship and promoting a positive environment, and dealing with emergency situations, all of which have liability implications.
"The Ohio High School Athletic Association is pleased to lend its support to the first-ever NASPAA Football P.A. Announcers’ Clinic in Ohio,” commented Dan Ross, Commissioner of the Ohio High School Athletic Association. “Making sure that announcers are trained and educated is important. Announcers who take their work seriously and who are interested in preparing for the upcoming football season will not want to miss this clinic!"
