I do Soccer, B'ball, and V'ball. PA ref is right on target with #4. I could do that because the head coach is my next door neighbor -- something we never mention to visiting coaches. One thing to remember, with VB: it is a very simple game, but despite what all of your B'bll friends will imply, it isn't as easy as it looks! Play can happen very very fast! Try to do as many Jr. High games as you can at first, and work as a line judge and watch experienced officials. The biggest adjustment I had at first was after years of soccer and basketball, no one was guarding anyone!
PA, refnrev ... thanks for the good advice.

Uh-huh, and the refs don't have to run in VB! Isn't soccer a fall sport in HS? In NC, come to think of it, the boys soccer played in the fall and the girls played in the spring. In NY, boys and girls soccer was fall. Not sure about Georgia. If i would do another sport, it would be soccer. I saw alot of soccer matches over the years when my kids played in NY (Long Island and Albany - both areas were HS state champs in the 90's) and learned the sport at coaches clinics.
