Got an email last night asking for my availability for spring league games. This league, which I have worked for a few years, starts in two weeks and lasts six weeks, with teams playing two games each weekend. Their website says they will have about 200 teams this year in grades 3-12.

I really like working games for these guys. They are very supportive of the refs and we can request times and locations. They are really good about honoring my requests because one of the two owners used to play in our local kids rec league years ago and he remembers me working his games when he was just a little guy.

I guess I need to put my stuff in the wash and refill my meds.

Anyone else out there getting ready for a spring league?
