Basically anyone that wants to do it can. Once you get above the HS level, it's much more selective and factors such as appearance weigh more heavily.

I didn't mean to sound biased towards LL officials, that's not the case at all. There are good and bad officials in every association at every level. To me, anyone that goes out and makes an effort to call the best game they can is a good official, regardless of the level they work.
