Because the majority of the games start at 3:00, my next step is to set up a meeting with my guidence counsellor to see if i can arrange my scheduel so that my last class ends at 1:00, i figure that if i'm one of the few who are available, i should get a few games.
Well where I am located you must be 18 to officiate HS games(in Football/Lacrosse too), also I think you have to have graduated. These are good rules and they make sense IMO, I officiated in HS so I know what you're going through. But in all honesty you shouldn't beable to ref HS until you're an adult and especially not until you're out of HS. You probaly are an excellent offical, just be patient.
