JR, I'm in a beginner's clinic and we have about 40 people attending. I'm waiting for the discussion regarding appearance. Many are challenged when it comes to fitness and I'm waiting to see if we are told anything about it.
We are required to wear our uniforms at the next session and that will be a perfect time to discuss appearance.

I know its tough when you have a shortage of refs, however when the association's reputation is as stake, do they still accept bad looking refs?
Woodee,
Just do what you can, the best that you can.
Head up. Thoughts to yourself. Smile on your face.

Mick,

I apologize, I'm not one of the challenged, however there are a several who are.

We will begin with middle school games. What are tips to advance?
Woodee,
I am sure you are not challenged by your physicality, but I am willing to bet you are seeing lesser, older, slower, fatter, sloppier officials get better schedules than others.
Bite the bullet. Bite your tongue. Say nothing you do not want repeated.
Ask you assignor what you need to do.

I do not assign. If I did, I would assign by:
  • knowledge,
  • judgement,
  • mechanics,
  • presence,
  • dependability,
  • personality,
  • appearance.
