Teen-age Officials

[fonzzy07]

I am a current teenaged ref. I am doing the high level rec games and am doing my fair share of middleschool games ie 7th, 8th, and freshman patch games. I read one section of the rulebook a night. I have also found that my first year when I wasnt as exicted about reffing, the simplified and illustrated version of the rule book helped. Right now I am working as many games as possible, reading the rule and casebooks, talking to other officials, watching other officials, and I plan to attend a camp this summer. I know I'm weird for doing this at such a young age, but I am a ref so I guess it makes sense.
