If an official is available for these games, he instantly becomes our assignment commissioner's best friend.

When I retire in a few years, my goal is to be healthy enough continue to work my varsity games, and to make myself available for these afternoon games. I'm looking forward to mentoring the "rookie", and inexperienced, officials that are often assigned these afternoon subvarsity games.

Subvarsity fees, for all subvarsity games, including middle school, were $59.23 last season. That's more than just pocket change at two, or three, subvarsity games each week for a twelve week season.
