How does first year ref get middle school and JV games?

Good for you! It is great to get into the action. Where I am it takes at least two years to get into JV Freshman games and sometimes MS games. We get evaluated at pre-game scrimmages and the requirements are strict. Some guys dont make it and may remain in the younger church or school programs. Some aren't asked to come back. We usually have 30 new refs come out each year and maybe half will make it to a MS game which would be after two months of evaluations. It could take a few years to get a small varsity game. Very competitive here and senority plays a big part which it should. Have fun and stay sharp!
