Yeah, I was planning on going to a camp this summer. But unfortunately, that doesnt help right now.

I have several friends who have tried to walk this path. What I discovered is that they tried to get to even the JV level and even after working games and networking for 5 years, both of them are still grade school and rec league refs. Heck, in 2 years, I feel I've caught up with them and hit that same ceiling.

So is the magic pill bugging the assignors, going to camps, making the meetings and selling the fact I am available to everybody I know that works the level I want to work?
