CBOA doesn't tell you what you have to officiate, you can pick and choose from a variety of leagues, levels, etc as they use the Arbiter in self assign mode for many (most) of their recreation leagues. Scholastic games are another beast, but they have a great training and evaluation program to create quality varsity officials. For the most part, you won't just walk right into Cardinal the first year and call varsity. There is a straightforward program of how transfers get accepted and a definition of each level of official they have in the association (Varsity, Swing, JV, Applicant).
I also know that if you wish, you can always work non-CBOA games/leagues. My father is a varsity official (after 5 years of hard work) and he still works for the independent youth league where we both started our careers.
