Rookies that Quit
I have heard that about 1 out of 3 people who take the training, quit after the 1st year. In our association it seems to be much higher than that.
Lasy year we had 8 start and on 2 in the ned. this year, 10 started the classes and there are only 2 left now.
We start our officials off with middle school games, the pay is low, the travel distance is high sometimes. I was offered a middle school game the other day, the pay is $35 but the travel was 65 miles each way. I can see why someone wouldn't want to take an assignment like that. And on top of it deal with the fans, coaches and players....
