my take on rec leagues- i hate them. I'm a young(20 years old) official aspiring to make it to the highest level possible, wether that be the pros, ncaa, or oylmpics. I don't care, i just love officiating. The reason i do rec leagues, is because it makes you a better official, judgment wise. Once you have a decent grasp on mechanics,i'd recomend doing rec league games because it can help improve your game managment skills,deciding what to call, what to pass on. helps with conditioning( 25 min straight time halfs get's your cardio skills back up to par. and plus..you can make some decent cash too.
just my take, like i said..make sure you can have the ability to have 2 different mindframes so you don't bring your rec league mindset to a varsity boys play off game.
