I just got off the phone last night with the new officials coordinator with my local chapter, and new officials are started on Freshman and JV ball. Varsity is normally not seen in the first year, with the exception of possible small schools or private schools in the later part of the season. The association doesn't assign for middle school, that's left up to each institution to fend for themselves because of not having enought officials to guarentee all of the middle schools would have coverage. Often times, officials work out deals with middle schools local to them and call on nights when they don't have association games.
I am looking forward to getting started.
