Relocating

[Ed Hickland]

It is highly dependent upon chapter and the number of officials available.

A few years ago I went to California with 9 years experience. After working three weeks of preseason football I was on the field for a varsity game the first week and had five varsity games that season.

Yet, here in our association in New York the bylaws require any new official to work, at least, one season at a level below the level of your last association. Therefore, a varsity official must work a season as a JV official. Then that official can be selcted for a crew provided a place is available and a referee chooses him.
