I know I have a few years, but I was just wondering how does calling college ball work?

How do you get into it?
Do you have meetings?
How many games a week/month?
What is the pay?
Can you call mens and womens?

Thanks.

Brandan,

Some officials get picked up at "tryout camps." Others get invited by word of mouth or get seen by the right person at the right time. It varies. I got asked to do a college summer league and then got asked to do games based on working those summer games (but then I declined due to the conflict with family).

Number of games a week/month depends on many variables.

Pay varies by level and conference.

At the college level, I do not know of any officials who work both mens and womens. Usually an official chooses one or the other.
