I am assuming that since you were approached to be a WH, that
you have developed a good reputation already. So congratulations on that acknowledgement.
Things to consider....
1. Do you have any say on who will be on your crew?
2. If you do get a crew that works well together, what
are the chances of keeping that crew together?
3. What level of varsity games will your crew get?
4. You may or may not like being a trainer of newer officials.
Are you expected to work in one or two newer officials
each year?
5. Will you get stuck being a WH and doing lower level games
when the "A" crews in your association get the higher
visisibility games? Is that even important to you?
6. Do you want to work college games? Will you be handicapped
by the fact that you are a WH? Here in MN, that doesn't
appear to, but your situation may be different.
7. Are you comfortable in leading your crew?
Probably a ton of other things to consider, too. If you are
a take charge person, and enjoy working with others, I'd say
go for it. Learn the rules, learn the enforcements and
try to develop a crew philosophy on how you are going
to officiate a game.
Congrats.
