Sounds like AZ is unique. If you want to officiate HS ball, you must pay your dues to the Az Interscholastic Assn, the state governing body for HS sports and activities. There are approx 10 area commissioners throughout the state that are responsible for conducting pre season meetings and administering the NFHS test.
The commissioners then schedule the officials in their areas for the season. Each area commissioner then has input to playoff assignments.
In Phoenix, there are several local associations that schedule JH ball and city/rec leagues. Most of them have no qualification requirements other than paying your dues.
