-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by whistleone Where did you begin your officiating career? (youth league, city league, college intramurals, etc). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started my senior year in high school with a church slow pitch softball league. I am currently a sophomore in college. In my freshman year, I officiated IM football, basketball, and softball. I am planning to continue those this year. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by whistleone Why did you start officiating? (money, get away from spouse/kids, health, love of the sport, etc). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmmm... I'm still wondering why actually. I started umpiring because our league didn't really have anyone, and I really enjoy doing it. Why football and basketball? I guess it's a change of pace. Money is no factor. I would do this for free... well, maybe a free burger and coke at the concession stand will do. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by whistleone Have there been situations that made you think about quitting? If so, what were they? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I thought about not doing IM basketball because the players were TOO into the game and started intimidating the officials. It's intramural, it's meant to be fun. But if I quit, the players win. So I'm still in it.
