anyone from Boise area and able to tell me what it will be like moving to Boise. I will have one full varsity year under my belt. Will have some good references coming with me. I am 29. What should I expect: how many games to do a week, varsity vs. jv? Also, are there any good camps in the area that I might go to during this summer in order to smooth my transition into the area?

I worked in Boise for 2 years before moving to Missouri. The Boise area is in District 3 when it comes to officiating. All the schools in that district have a contract with the official's association and only officials from the association are to be used for games at those schools.
Current pay for varsity is $47. JV is $33. Travel is paid to one official (usually one of the varsity officials who is supposed to coordinate ride sharing). All games are assigned by a central assignor. Assignment meetings are held about once a month. In a given month I would receive anywhere from 5-15 dates (depending on my availability). Officials are rated at the beginning of the year and assignments are based on those ratings. Ratings range from JV 5 to Varsity 1. JV 4's and 5's receive only JV and below. JV 3 officials work primarily JV games but can fill in for Varsity officials when needed. Varsity 1 and 2 officials work almost exclusively varsity games. Like most places, there are some politics present within the association. Your first year, you'll probably be rated as a JV official. Prove yourself during that year and you'll move up fairly quickly. Here's the website for the District 3 Official's Association: http://www.idahoofficials.com/ Feel free to email me if you want anymore info. I can also give you email addresses for a few of the officials out there. *Edited to appease the grammar gods.* [Edited by whistleone on Jan 11th, 2006 at 03:09 PM]

From what I remember...the Disco bars were great! Bogus Basin Ski Resort is a lot of fun! The blue turf at BSU looks kind of funny.

Hmmm...disco bars and NNU just don't seem to go together in my mind! Did you have an English Prof named Kevin Dennis?? He's my cousin - been there quite a while.

No drinking or dancing was allowed at this school. Heck, even going to the movies was considered taboo. Sorry, I don't remember your cousin's name(graduated in 1979)...but I DO remember the VP's name, Mr. Ford. Whew, what a beautiful daughter he had!
