Sorry you didn't like the responses, but there was no intent to "put you down." There was a strong desire to let you know that officiaitng a sport in which you have little knowledge just doesn't make sense. I do three sports because I know those three sports. When my son wrestled, I loved to watch the matches and the officials, but would never have considered officiating because I didn't know the ins and outs well enough. I know that we need all the refs we can get. So I hope you take the time needed to be around the game and learn the game well so that if and when you do decide to officiate you will be ready and can take the pitch as a knowledgabe and official and make a great contribution to the kids and the game!
