ON the day after Thanksgiving day...then it's 4 days per week (for the NFHS games) and also on Saturdays for the city Rec leagues games @ n = 5 games per Saturday).
I've got 6 new pair of black athletic sox and bought 2 new whistles with the plastic mouthgard, also bought 2 new shirts, and I'm trying to experiment with getting my shirts professionally altererd for a smoother fit.
My shirts fit ok, but at times the waist area will flail out like a parshute and I have to snug it back in there--any one of you'all ever tried to get your shirt altered and how did it work out? I think it will be a stylish appearance and not flail out like a "flying squirrel"

Shirt stays and flex belts fix that.

Use, Neat Tucks. That is better than the flex belt (for me and others) and it is not something that you need to tuck your shirt in with the risk of coming out. Trust me on this one, many officials I know use these and it works very well.

Peace

Shirt stays keep my shirt from coming up, flex belt keeps my pants from sliding down or moving around my waist.

The Flex blet never worked for me and when I see many guys wearing them, it seems to either pull down their pants (where you can see the belt) or their shirt still looks sloppy. You are a military man so maybe you are putting in on properly. At least for the shirt, Neat Tucks was the best thing for me and others have joined the bandwagon too. Just the best product I have used as an accessory in my officiating career. I cannot even ref without them. It is like not going to the game without my whistle.

Peace

I get the garters that clamp to the shirt and socks. I don't like any foreign object in my shoe bothering my feet.

Girls Varsity regular season starts 11/18

Boys Varsity regular season starts 11/25

Florida does EVERYTHING early because our school year usually ends by May 15...thus all sports championships have to conclude by then (baseball and softball). So they take the last days of school and work the sports seasons backwards to determine start dates. And the sports DO overlap...so basketball teams will often start the season while football players are finishing up post-season play. Makes it pretty tough on smaller schools that have their best athletes playing multiple sports. No real break for the players between sport seasons either.
