Don't try to move up too fast. "First impressions are lasting impressions" holds true in officiating. When you think you are ready to move up and you get a shot to impress the supervisors be 100% that it is time because you'll likely only get one shot. The general rule of thumb is to work at least 10 years of high school ball and then 5 years of major college ball. In years past the NFL wouldn't even give you an application if you didn't meet those requirements.
