As you can tell, I am not a regular of this forum. I am a regular at the baseball Forum where I currently officiate only one sport, obviously baseball. Some of my friends who umpire baseball and officiate football want me to join the football association next year. In addition to HS games, you have Pop Warner and other youth leagues.
So my question to those who have umpired baseball and officiate football, what's your take on the 2? I know football is TIMED compared to baseball and in addition the youth Leagues pay cash and it's not uncommon for some of my freinds to officiate 3/4 Pop Warner games and make good money (cash in Pocket)
I have also been told that coaches in football are much more vociferous than in baseball. In other words, football coaches especially at the varsity level get right in your face more so than in baseball.
In addition, what about officiating other sports? Basketball, Vollyball, LaCross, Field Hocky etc.
Just trying to gather info Thanks
Pete Booth
