Ours is coming to Houston in March
From what I have heard it is the most fun you will ever have as an official. Most years the refs have to fight over the games and they end up doing 3 man. Looking forward to it this year.

I did one years ago and had a great time.I had a coach mess up and did not start an autistic player,about to start the second half and the young man gets extremely upset because the scoreboard should be at 00 to 00.
The coach explained about the importance of routine for autistic children,so I got the coaches together and we agreed to put the scoreboard back to 00 to 00 keeping the actual score in the book for the second half.The boy's mother gave my partner and I a hug after the game,thanking us for bending the rules a bit,so that her son could play. |

Thanks for sharing....
TWO THUMBS UP for the Officials who have done the right thing!
My brother-in-law coaches the Special Olympic team (Cross-Country Skiing) for WI. Last year they spent a week in Alaska! A life-time of memories... |

I volunteered two games this Saturday in a tournament that is a prep to the state tournament that I'll work next month. It is a lot of fun and I look forward to it every year.
Working those games gives you the opportunity to see true sportsmanship in action which, unfortunately, we rarely see. |
