best position to start out.

[verticalStripes]

I am a first year football official. In your opinion, what is the best position to learn so that I could get HS varsity games when I am ready?

I am getting a lot of "grass time" this year by taking a lot of youth assignments. In these games, we do 2 or 3 man mechanics. I am bigger guy, and everyone in my local chapter believes the bigger guys should become umpires. But I am not sure if umpire is the best postion for me.

Thanks -> this forum is great!
