How much longer for you guys till tip off?

JRutledge

At this time, I will not work a game until November 21, 2011. Again still waiting on college schedule which could allow that time to be shorter. Again we will see.

I have already had my first meeting in one assn and have one on Monday with my primary assn. First games are usually around November 10th. Of course, I started to officiate volleyball this fall, so I am nearly 3 weeks into that season.

Only 17 more days before fall league starts for one of the top kids rec leagues in this area (HoopSource). I can't wait to get my schedule. I usually get the games I want from them because one of the two guys who runs the league went to HS with my son, and also played in our local kids rec league when he was little and I reffed a lot of his games then.

Despite that, he likes me working his league. 🙄

How much longer for you guys until your first game of the new season, rec or otherwise? Are you getting anxious?

End of November for High School, first of November for college.

Jr High girls starts September 20th for me. A few dates in that league, then the boys start in October, then high school in November of course.

So...12 days

I start my short wreck-ball season next Sunday.

Going to be interesting for me this HS season, as I switched Associations and have to be re-evaluated to see what kind of schedule I get.

First association meeting next week with scrimmages starting at the same time (league play, not HS).

Presently, MTD, Jr., open our seaon together on Monday, December 05, 2011. It is a boys' Jr. H.S. doubleheader (7th grade followed by 8th grade). We will follow our normal procedure: Junior will toss to start each game (because it is too much work to toss the ball) and then I will remain at the division line while the young whippersnapper runs from endline-to-endline the entire game. 😀

Try a volleyball referee stand - you can get good angles!

Tip off will be here in about 2 and half months. Heck I would take my tip off time now so that I don't have to deal with all this flooding that we got from the rain. I guess until then just working out and training and heck maybe work some shootouts!

High school girls: December 7.
High school boys: December 14.

I have no idea...football is just two weeks old. We get games assigned about two weeks in advance for both football and basketball. Don't work rec league. I am on the board for the Bball association and we will have our first board meeting within the month.

I also received my first ever contract for some college ball and I know they are starting to schelude games. I am only realistically expecting a small handful of games from them. This was the direct result of attending camp. I had a blast at camp (although I could never find the craft table and didn't get any s'mores) and bonus, will get a few games out of it.

You laugh at this but it is exactly what was done to me for my first game initiation 29 years ago! I counted no less than 6 senior officials watching to see how long I would last. It was High School JV game. I was 17 at the time.

Knee surgery on Sept 21. Just a little clean out so with a brief rehab I will be back on the court by the end of October. * fingers crossed at least*

Hey Mark T. DeNucci, Sr: You still have to get up the ladder. You know, they don't come with elevators.

Sorry stir22. I've already got all of Javie's NBA assignments and I'm going to wear my OHSAA jacket to all of them! Meetings start next month. Girls varsity starts last week of November, boys varsity the first week of December.
