3. DON'T DO REC league. If you want to move up, stay away from rec league. What will happen is that if you are doing Rec League every Monday and your assignor needs someone to fill in on a Monday, you wont get the call. Also, not all rec league ref's take it that seriously.

I'm going to disagree here. I think new officials should do as many games at any level that they can get. The more games that you do, the better you get as an official. My experience has also been that you will see all the weird and unusual stuff in the rec league games. Once you see it, then you will know how to handle it.
