No, they don't "make us". I was probably unclear. In Ohio new umpires start at Grade 2 where you can do any game EXCEPT high school varsity behind the plate. I'll be doing plates in the travel games (and girls fastpitch) then I'll be upgrading to Grade 1 next season and do varsity plates.
Sorry for the confusion.

The state does not specify what you can work. Class 2 officials cannot work Varsity, no matter what their assignment is (plate/base on the field.)
