Guidelines For Middle School officiating

[BillyMac]

wanja: Good list for all officials at all levels. With the exception of period length, and clock stoppage, these are pretty much the guidelines we follow, per NFHS, or per our local board, for all or our high school varsity and subvarsity games. Our high school assigner also assigns middle school games, and with one exception, an additional "junior varsity period" for those who didn't play in the "varsity" game, the expectations are exactly the same as the expectations for our high school varsity assignments. Why not simply tell your middle school officials to follow all NFHS rules, and your local association rules, except for period length, and clock stoppage. Have you been having problems with lazy, irresponsible officials who may not take a middle school game as seriously as high school games?
