I think a part of the reason we do this is "for the kids". It's fun watching kids develop their games over the years. I'm officiating kids that are playing 8th grade ball since they were 8 years old in 3rd grade when I was a rookie. Kinda cool.

Other reasons why I officiate (in no particular order):

- excercise
- money
- love being around the game
- fraternity
- addicted to improving
