Varsity officials evaluate JV officials that work the games immediately prior to the V games. Coaches evaluate both the JV and V officials. At the end of the regular season, coaches develop a list of which officials they would like to see in the post season and those officials are ranked and scheduled accordingly.

It's a horrible system that's terribly political. Often times, JV officials are rated low for not staying to observe at least half of the Varsity game. JV officials are also rated low to keep them from moving up and taking away Varsity games from the "old dogs." The form that's used is very subjective and provides no explanation as to what they're supposed to be looking for. How are coaches supposed to evaluate us on mechanics and positioning if they don't know where we're supposed to be and what we're supposed to be doing?

There are a few associations around the country that have their evaluation sheets posted online. A quick search for "official evaluation" should turn up some examples.

Hope this helps
