I can train officials much better at high school games. There are more standards. There are procedures that must be followed. What is expected at one school is expected at another school anywhere in the state of Illinois for example. I might have 15 different standards or leagues working a middle/junior high contest.
There is a reason we do not run a single high school camp at a middle school game or contest is involved.
I will gladly pass if the goal is to train someone. I would have to be doing it for the easy money first and then training a distant 100 on the list of 100.
