When I started all I was told by everyone to do was work as many rec,AAU, etc. games as I could. It helped me move up in winter, but I learned NOTHING. I think it was a ploy by the vets to weasle out of wroking them.
There are no mechanics, the Dads errr "coaches" have no clue what the rules are, the kids whine, you're lucky to have a clock or someone who knows how to turn it on or off, there is no real host managment person, and really half or more of the games are not fun to work.
Rec league games should be used in the context of what they are...cash cows for officials. You usually get paid wether there is a game or not, and with a runnign clock it is not very long.
If you want to make some good jack, work 'em. Just don't expect to learn, and forget everything you pick up.
I work a very select one or two a week in summer just to keep in shape and to bolster any argument with my wife that I in fact do not spend all my time on the golf course.
