The Sports Officials Thread

I have a playoff game tonight in Mammoth. Going to be 42 degrees at game start and we are doing a 3 man crew for a 8 man game.

Going to do football again this year. At the first meeting they were asking me white hat some JV games this year. Don't feel ready for that. At all.

Find a good umpire for your crew. They can save your bacon when you inevitably get confused over penalty administration.

That is the plan hopefully.

Around here on your first varsity game as white hat the head official for this area will be the umpire with you. This guy is usually the umpire on the D1 champ game (with teams like St John Bosco and Mater Dei). I did an 8 man game with him last year that he drove up to. It was really fun learning from a guy that knows what he is doing.

You'll do great!

I was thrown to the wolves on my first varsity white hat game. It went ok though. I just realized I've been retired from sports officiating for over a decade.
