The teams are actually running their offenses and defensive sets. In my case most officials that work them are accomplished officials. It is rare that I am working with a brand spanking new officials who has never seen ball at this level. I guess it just depends on where you live. No value as far as I am concerned other than money.

Well since you put it that way, then you are correct. But in this area it a big event and the teams are good, even down to the 7 & 8 year olds. Of course, you have your team that are not so good. I just work on things that keep me ahead of the game for high school. Some officials hang there stuff up and dont start again until October. Not me!!!
