Great job J.R. I would like to add one thing.
Great officials show they want to be there have a passion and enjoy what they are doing not matter what level.
Example
I love to do A.A.U. I love the kids and just being out there with them. I also joke with the parents, players and coaches.(it has to be hard on them traveling all the time). I finished a game and was time for a break. Before the next game both coaches who were getting ready to play came up to me a complimented me. I told them that if they liked what I did they would love the next two officials (D1's). After they game they both came up to me and said "We rather have you." I asked them why and what they said stuck with me. They replied "These guys could care less they were just out here for the money." People are watching, and they can tell if you act like you don't want to be there. Believe me it will show and when it does they will be all over you.
