First Evaluation

[stewcall]

BEing a Rookie- we get evaluated our first and second year by every veteran watching the game. At the end of my first season I had over 25 evaluations plus two observations from by big brother. With the evaluations, tests, and attendence at meetings Rookies move up to Providual members. At the end of the second year you are then voted for full membership. After full membership- officials are rated by the Comm. for levals of play- first and second year officials do not officiate above JV with greener ones only calling Girls A ball or lower (down to middle school)
I have been fortunate to call some JV AAA ball this year- I learned that I have a lot to learn about game management- mechanics are good- judgment will hopefully improve with time and more feedback. Our Association does a great job helping folks to grow and learn!
My big brother says all went well my first year! Ok on to watching some playoff games (if we dig out of the snow)- end of the year banquet where we are voted on and on to next year!
IT HAS BEEN FUN!! Every game has been the best! OK my family thinks I'm nuts about a GV girls game that only 30 or so fans are present- so what- each one is like the finals of a NCAA barn burner
