We have one association here. They assign the games. the executive board.

I am a good official. I have gotten better every year. No I don't go to camps, I am too busy running my business to go. We may have 1 or 2 guys who go to a camp. We have about 40 officials and we work about a 60 mile area.

My point is that I have 7 years worth of officials behind me. I have paid my dues to get a better schedule. I rarely ever have a complaint from a coach and have had them compliment me even when they lose.

My best asset is that I understand the rules and use them correctly in the games. I am tall and loud enough to be heard without a problem. I am athletic and can keep up with the game. I don't do much boys varsity, maybe 4 games last year. Mostly girls varsity and I don't have a problem with that.

Thanks for your suggestions. I am 52 and not looking to go to the next level ( college ) though I have been asked a few times.

I did have a college evaluator rate me last year and he gave me some good pointers and asked me to come to his camp, but that seems like a younger mans game to me. I want to do this about another 6 or 7 years, if my body holds up.

If you got a 30% varsity schedule, how would you feel?
