Can one move up too fast ?

In my experience, at the HS level, someone can move up too fast, but it really doesn't hurt them in the long run. If anything, it helps more for them to do the games and screw up then to not do them at all.

I got scratched my second year from 2 coaches when I did their games. In that chapter, scratches only worked for district games and non-district games for the bigger schools. The next year, I worked both schools in tournament games, then got a district game for one, and worked one of their playoff games the year after through a coach's selection. The coach in question either forgot about the scratch or changed his mind. Either way, the fact that he had seen me the first time, I think, lead him to think he knew me better than he would have if I hadn't had the game he scratched me after.

Convoluted way of saying, as long as you have the confidence in your ability to improve, just keep working your schedule. I think if you changed it, you'd regret it.

When working for an assignor take whatever games that are offered to you. I rarely turn down an assignment. I want the assignor to think of me whenever an openinng occurs. Personally I have no problem working underclass games. I use these games to work on mechanics such as sigals.

Is it possible to move up to fast? Most definitely that being said I would never share this feeling with any assignor.

Use the lower level/JV circuit to your advantage and work on the things you need to work on at this level. Then when you are assigned the Varsity contest, check your progress on those things. Ask your partners for feedback. Keep learning and keep enjoying what you do.
