It was about 10 years ago
 
I started officating in a local rec league, for 3 and 4 graders when I was 14 years old. Don't exactly remember the first game, but knew I was really nervous for the fact that I was asked to step in because the one official didn't show up. Went off find, I did it a few more times that year and had fun doing it. You know you find something when your a senior in high school and your job consist of working rec games and have a boss that has confidence in you to allow you to do a league where you are officiating your own peers from high school and other high schools in a rec league. It was a fun time and I learned a lot, and it has lead me to actually running their summer league and being in charge of getting officials and handling situations that come up within the league.

My partner was late for my very first game. Nothing like doing your first game without a partner! I called the guy who suggested I ref and he came to help me out. Fortunately, he lived close to where I was. Since I lived in Glendale AZ at the time I could have been so far away that I would have just had to suffer through it.
