For my high school association: 30 minutes
College: Depends on the conference....latest is 60 minutes prior

My standard is an hour for any level of varsity or college unless otherwise stated.

Lower level games can be 30 minutes if started early enough like a 4:30 game.

Peace

Have now officiated in six different states and the standard has always been 60 minutes for varsity. For sub-varsity HS games, pretty much 30 minutes is what I always remember being the mark. Of course one is always encouraged to shoot for a little earlier (~45 min) if possible, but work conflicts are understood and frankly if you're pushing 15 minutes from time to time no one cares as long as you keep your partner informed and get the game in.

For MS games, 20-30 minutes.

For weekend youth/AAU games, my personal standard is proportional to the paltry game fees I earn, meaning usually about 5-10 minutes. And even then, if I have the first slot in the morning, sometimes the gym is still locked when I arrive.

If it is any contest that does not involve a regular uniform, that is pretty much the standard as long as you are ready to go before game time (usually games without a locker room). No one hardly gets excited about an AAU game like that.

When In Rome ...

For our high school varsity games, we are encouraged to be there at the beginning of the preceding junior varsity game, and expected to be there no later than the beginning of the second period of the preceding junior varsity game. In either case, varsity officials head to the locker room at the end of the third period of the preceding junior varsity game.

If it's just a single varsity game: 60 minutes prior to scheduled tipoff. If I'm doing non-varsity or a JV/Varsity doubleheader, 30 minutes prior to first game.

Since I'm paranoid about being late for stuff, I'm usually 10-15 minutes earlier than that. Also, I really don't like feeling rushed before a game... I like to have some time to mentally get away from all the other life distractions and focus on the task at hand.
