First games of the season.
Today I had my first three games to start my season. Whenever I hit the court in the second half of the first game I remembered why I had been trying to make myself run. All three games went smoothly and had seld help of fellow officials to tell me some things I needed to work on.

Just curious...when does everyone else start?

November 19 is the first day the Boy's can play and when my season starts. November 12 is the first day of the Girl's season. Post seasons for Boy's and Girl's Basketball start at different times so that is the reason both do not start at the same time.

Peace

Good grief. You started basketball today?

We don't start for another six weeks.

We have our first meeting tomorrow, but the season won't begin until after Thanksgiving.

Oregon doesn't start pre-season until around Thanksgiving. There are some scrimmages before that. Season starts Dec 1 as a rule, I think. But our association has it's first meeting Oct 30. First meeting, rules clinic, test before the pre-season starts. Makes it easy to get lots of folks to work the scrimmages.

Juulie,

What do you mean when you say "pre-season?" Are those games between different schools that do not count?

Peace

I've started working some junior high games the last couple of weeks, it's been fun.

My first high school game isn't for another 4 weeks.

That's because Mark spends so much time looking for pictures.

Thank you! I've been lurking for quite some time and finally decided to start posting. I'm really looking forward to contributing to the discussions once the season starts.

Me too! This being only my 2nd year of officiating high school games (past six years doing city aka: rat ball). This site has been an amazing help to help me learn the rules better! Thanks a million!
