Ref18, I'm a football official, never worked BB and probably never will, but I can empathize with you.

I started officiating football when I was 17. I was still in school and did peewee. I did middle school and 9th grade when I graduated high school. I officiated for 5 years until my "real" job caused me to have to give it up. Then at age 31 I got the chance to get back into it. Next fall will be my third year of the "second" chapter of my officiating career.

Time is on your side. I KNOW that you want a varsity schedule NOW. I was there. It took me 107 football games and 4 and a half seasons until I got my first varsity. You'll never forget it! But remember TIME is on your side. Tomegun gave some great advice for BB, and I can't add any more to that. I hope you get as much out of officiating as I have, and several people on this board have. GOOD LUCK! :-)
