HS Varsity

[sfd]

That was me. We are in a rural area and without a lot of experienced officials. That being said, we don't have very many young (new) ppl doing V level games. They are always 3 whistle and I'm with 2 more experienced officials. And I'm good enough not to screw up anymore than the next guy. Which is sometimes often.

I started off working some MS games right after I graduated high school. The next year, I joined the local chapter and went through the training course. I actually grew up with the son of one of the guys running the training, so he kinda took me under his wing. After my first year doing Fresh/JV games, my assignor called me and told me the chapter would sponsor me to go to another chapter's 3-person camp. Of course I went, and my evaluators gave me plenty to work on but said I was doing real well. I also went to a free mini-camp held by my chapter and was evaulated by many of the higher ups.

Much to my surprise I've gotten a handful of 3-person girls varsity games this season (my 2nd with the chapter) and some more small school 2-person varsity, both boys and girls.

I started working varsity with 4 games my first year. I was in Nebraska then. I had a pretty full schedule in year 2 and have been doing varsity games ever since. I moved to MN 3 years ago and was able to start with mostly small school varsity but am now working some of the bigger conferences.

I live in a metro area and I got my first V games in my 4th year. My 5th was a full schedule of V games and my 1st playoff games. I got my 1st state championship in my 7th year. These numbers are a little early for my area, but not unprecedented.
