Most of our assignments for HS play are two officials for FR, JV, V. In the last couple of years, however, we have had an influx of new VB officials (something to do with it being "easy money" ). So more and more assignments are with 1 new official and 1 experienced official on the FR and/or JV matches, with a second experienced official coming in for the JV and/or V matches.

Personally, my work (real job) situation doesn't always allow me to be available for a 4 pm FR match.

That's me this year.When I'm not calling lines (we have one school that requested officials as line judges for their home matches) I'm paired with an experienced varsity official on some small school varsity matches as an R2.I'm an R1 for 1 JV match and a handful of Jr High matches (All Jr High here is assigned as 1 person). My match last Thursday had a great table crew-Mom was the official scorer,Dad was the libero tracker,and 10 (guessing) yr old son ran the clock and scoreboard.
