Hey all i am a junior in Highschool. I have officiated for 2 and a half years and am now routinly working 7th and 8th grade games. I am looking for games of this caliber in the st louis area. I do have my patch, and am willing to travel a little ways. Anybody got anything or know where I can look to find games? If you can help me out please either message me or email me at [email protected]

Fonzzy, if you can modify the subject line to something more specific like "Help finding MS games in St. Louis" or something, that might help your cause. There's bound to be a local chapter in your area that can help you, so be sure and contact them directly. I have two daughters who began officiating while still in H.S. and they work through the local chapter here in Texas - nothing beyond M.S. until they reach 18. You could also call private schools and see if you could introduce yourself to them by working some scrimmages.

Good Luck! I hope to have my fourth child begin officiating this summer - I think it is wonderful for them to experience this early in life!! or is it sort of like pushing naive children in front of an oncoming train!?! :-)

thanks for the advice i have started a new post with a better title, so everyone please respond to that one.
