Most high school volleyball games around these parts are held in the midafternoon (fall girls, spring boys), and they are always looking for breathing volleyball officials with a pulse. A lot of our basketball officials, when they retire from their day jobs, move over to volleyball. They tell me that it's a piece of cake, and that it's almost like they're stealing the money. Some guys work varsity games their first year, after never having played the game in high school (other than physical education class). I know one guy who worked some early round state tournament games in his second year. Of course, one does have to be able to get up, and down, that ladder. Now, that's tough work.
