Learned This The Hard Way, Dressing In Bathrooms ...
Me too. Most middle schools don't have proper dressing facilities.

I'm in the group of wearing what I wear to work, business casual - no jeans ever.
Now for the Saturday morning kids games it's uniform with OHSAA jacket. No place to change before or after. I work Volleyball also and many of those officials I work with walk in with complete uniforms on including shoes. Right from the street. It just seems strange for me as I dress similar for volleyball as I do for basketball. I always change into my game shoes for volleyball as well. |

I do have a 'over the shoulder' duffel bag but my next piece will be a roller bag I think. |

I do change my shoes once I get there though. As for basketball: dress pants/shoes, polo or dressy shirt for JH and above, I dress the same for all because all games matter. Last edited by youngref33; Fri Dec 26, 2008 at 03:29pm. |

Something to go with this, I hate it when I show up at a JH game ready to go with my jacket on and the other official gets there and says to me "Others officials in this league don't wear or bring their jackets for this league so I don't bring mine". I hate this if you wear it for a JV then wear it for a JH. |

Just depends. Jeans are fine if they are nice (not faded or ripped) and worn with a sweater and casual shoes rather than a sweatshirt and running shoes as mentioned. On tournament days and weekends, we will often wear nice sweats.

There doesn't seem to be any real dress code here. I've started dressing nicer this year, trying to more actively cultivate a professional image. It doesn't matter how inconspicuous I try to be, folks can always tell I'm a ref. It must be the bag. Normally I'm in Dockers and a nice polo shirt. I have a nice looking, but inexpensive, pair of rubber-soled dress shoes. So I don't mind if I have to tramp through knee deep snow to get to the gym. I think it's more professional to dress at the game site, unless it's a JH. I've had one too many painful experiences with that.
But jeans seem to be just as acceptable here, and how my partner dresses hasn't usually been an indication of how the game will go. Well, unless he comes "dressed" to a HS game. Those guys turn out to be "interesting" partners a pretty high percentage of the time. Volleyball is totally different. We all come dressed to our matches. Just a different culture.
