In our association meeting last night, our commissioner started talking about the fact that some officials find working certain level games is beneath them. He calmly said that anyone who doesn't want to work any 1A girls games, or 1A/2A varsity games or any particular level games should just please let him know. He then said he would not only excuse them from those lower level games, but also cancel the rest of their season's games.

Moral of the story, he says, is that every game is the most important game of the season to those kids playing in that game. No game is beneath anyone.

I loved it.

I think it's great that your commissioner said that. All the players deserve quality refs. I don't think it's hard to adjust to different levels of play.. it just requires a little mental preparation. I did a boys 4A V game Tuesday. Tonight I have to do a doubleheader with the girls Frosh (2-person) followed by the girls varsity (3-person). What's the big deal?
