At the moment, I only work varsity (well, usually JV/V doubleheaders, as is the norm around here at all except the very biggest schools). But that's mainly due to home/family situation: with a very young child at home and my wife wanting time to do her own hobbies in the evenings (fair enough), 2 nights per week is all I'm able to work.

If/when I can work more often, I'd absolutely love to be the guy working with and mentoring the newer officials. It's just not an option right now.
