Depends on the association...
In our association here in Hawaii, we always welcome new members, especially if they have prior experience.
New guys will be assigned to JV and Pop Warner games for the first month. We use 6 man mechanics for all our games. If their experience checks out varsity games will be assigned after that.
I finished my 9th year and my schedule is something like this: semi-pro game every other week from May through July, 1 or 2 high school games and 2 youth league games weekly August through November.
Be careful though. One of our members moved to Fresno. He has at least 20 years of experience. The local association did not give him any games. So it truly depends on the location and the demand for officials.
