We have A LOT of officials here in NVA. Every yr our Association brings in new recruits and has a fairly rigorous training and evaluation process. You're categorized either JV and below, swing (JV and V), or V. The competition to move up to the V level is very intense. Not enough retirees or people departing to allow those qualified, or deemed qualified to move up (IMO).

That being said, we have A LOT of games and leagues other than scholastic, to hone your skills and network - both two and three person.

We use the "self-assign" feature in Arbiter for Rec and other leagues and can have a season's worth of Men's or CYA games filled in five minutes when they become available.

The opportunity to work is there and recruits are always welcome. But, games can be tough to come by here and I don't believe you will ever get as many games as you "want" to work.
