I approached this from a players prospective. I coach the game for many years before I went into officiating. Most of the places I officiated, they just wanted a warm body. Think about it. Guys like you that know the rules are not going to want to do this lower level stuff, which creates a need that at the time I was happy to fulfill.
Not so. I use lower level games to work on my mechanics, to help out less-experienced partners, to teach kids the game ("don't reach!", "straight up!"), and to help my assignor get games covered.

Only the last could one do without good training.
