Just wanted to continue the discusion on a previous post about the difference JV and 9th grade games. Some of you said that in your area it takes 3to4 years before you get your first JV assignment, whereas I did varsity my 2nd year. Where I live it's pretty common for an official to start getting varsity games by the end of their 2nd year.
Granted, that is probably rushing things a bit, but waiting 3yrs for a JV game also seems extreme. Seems to me that you could be hamstringing some good officials by holding them back.
I guess my question is, for you people who live those areas, whats the rationale for waiting so long and do you agree?
