Thanks Jerry. At this point, because I'm a rookie (just 9 games) I'd rather gain experience in AAU tournaments, etc, before making myself available for school games. (Although, truthfully, I've seen a few school game refs who didn't seem much better than me.)
I want to learn how to do things the right way and get comfortable with it before doing middle school or jr high games. That's why I'm looking for tournaments for now. Plus, I don't yet know the pre-game responsbilities and some of the more rigid rules (timeout horns, etc) for sanctioned school games. One thing at a time.
Anyway, I appreciate your comments. Thank you.
