It sounds like your on the right track. Remember , he's only one person. You are right to be searching for other camps. Do you have a mentor? Before next season begins, work with your mentor and assignors to work scrimmages for high schools in your area. Have someone video you. Keep a journal of every game with approximately 5 things you did well and five things you need to work on. I am a lot older than you so I may never make D1 because I started too late, so you're in a better position than me. This is my second year and I worked a full varsity schedule, so there are exceptions to the rule. Keep working and don't let the opinion of others hold you back.

thanks i appreciate that. i do have a mentor that i am working with. we talk about every game that we have done. Hes a varsity official himself and has vowed to help me. theres nothing that makes you feel better than someone who is willing to lend a helping hand. i think hes one of the top 10 officials in our 200+ officials association. i am determined not to let anything hold me back other than myself.
