As a commissioner I find it interesting that "the" subject among non-varsity officials is the "plot" by varsity officials to keep them away from varsity action. I am the commissioner for 15 high schools and working at the varsity level depends on your ability, your attitude, and taking advantage of an opportunity when given one. Male - female makes no difference to me. I currently assign approximately 20 women to varsity games. Of these 20, 3 (all under 30 years old)also work boy's varsity. Of these 3, 1 (age 27 - but 9 years of experience and the first woman in our state to work a State Championship game) works any varsity game I have. Finally, and young officials do not like to hear this, experience is a huge factor in assigning. Getting better every time out is what is important, along with a great attitude. e.g. after working your sub-varsity game do you go home or do you watch the varsity game?
