I am a new official and am trying to gain on court experience the best way I can. During the summer there are many AAU tournaments in the area and they are needing officials very badly, however some "veterens" in my association frown upon working these events. I am looking for experience but I do not want to hurt my "learning the right way" because most tournaments have some slight rule changes and the players and coaches tend to act up more.
Do you think this is a good experience for me or am I just wasting my time?
