my 15 y.o son just started his officiating career. Just doing spring house league games in rec ball. He is a stellar player and has a good grasp of the rules and the playing experience to know what to call as well as no call. Had to remind him this is an important game for the players and they deserve his best effort and that now is not the time to fall into bad habits. He is working to sharpen his mechanics and positioning.

Will encourage him to join you fellows for any issues that are beyond me, but, over the last 3 years I have learned an awful lot from you guys.

Thanks again for making available your discussions so I could learn enough technique, rules and philosophy to pass on to my son for him to be an effective official right out of the box.
He is enjoying it so much, he even forgets to ask for a paycheck!!!
