I'll be 48 this May. I play once/twice a week and most times I'm the oldest player on the court. There was a period of time I stopped playing on the advice of other officials. But playing makes me happy and I'm very careful with what I do when I'm on the court. Since I'm no longer in a position where I NEED the income from officiating if I get injured it would just be an "oh well" moment.
