you could be proactive in facilitating your growth by trying the following:- Attend camps sponsored by the assignors in your area
Suck up!
- Submit rating reminder cards to your AD's/V Coaches/JV coaches in an effort to have them gauge your skills
- Introduce yourself to the assignor and offer all of your contact information personally, let hime put a face to the name
Really Suck up!
- Hook up with some veteran officials (good 'ol boys) that do get the games you would like and invite them to come evaluate you for a reference that can be presented to the AD's or assignors
Kiss azz!
- Directly ask for any evaluation assignments, offer to work scrimmages, or invite them to some of your games so that they can make an informed decision
Kiss azz!
- Keep in regular contact with the assignors and let them know your availability and be ready for last minute phone calls (When I first started out I would call multiple assignors every week to check in for any last minute games if I had a free night that week. I may have been a pest but it paid off very quickly as I became the guy they could count on to fill in when needed).
Kiss azz!
- Join your local association and become active in it or be sure to attend all the meetings/gatherings
Very good!
- Hire an agent
You must be one helluva ref!
- Vote Republican
Not kissin azz, you are an azz! pun intended
- Send gifts!
Kissin azz!
