I am not talking about JV games compared to Varsity games. Anyone that knows better, knows that there is a difference between those levels. At least the pressure is heightened. I was wondering why you would turn down JV games as compared to Freshman games and why? Now if you were doing only JH games, that is a different story. There is a difference between JH and HS games of all kinds, but I still feel that a 1st year official is very capable of doing both if they choose to. But I feel that there is not much a JH official could not handle than a JV official, but again this is my opinion.
BTW, are your JV and Varsity games coupled together like many are in my area?

the reson i was turning down J.V. and Varsity was i needed to know the rules better, and being able to adjust to the coaches and the verbal abuse you get at that level. I found out while doing a ton of jr high boys and girs games, if a rule is going to be broken or something strange is going to happen its going to happen in a jr game. It is true that the Varsity games are eaiser to officiate, due to the stlye of play and talent of the players. I learned alot about the rules doing jr high that you may take for granted, and sometimes you never have to use. I just wanted to be ready so that when something out of the ordinary happend i was ready and hopefully i could remember what to do.
