Sorry for the delay -- been away from my computer for a few days.

Once you join the association, there will be a couple of mandatory meetings to attend before the season starts, as well as the state rules clinic, and rules exam (be sure you register with the state).

The local association will have some training clinics before the season, try to get to these for no other reason than to get seen by the assignor and other veteran officials. You will send in your availability to the assignor and will then get a schedule in the mail once a month or so throughout the season.

Don't get discouraged with the games you'll get at first, it will take a while for the assignor to get to know you, and at what level you can handle.

Feel free to ask any more questions you might have, you can e-mail me if you'd like.
