Fair points. And it always hasn't been this way.
Used to be that you wouldn't see a varsity field for at least 4 years if not 5. You spent the first 3-4 years doing JV/middle school honing your craft while doing clocks on Fridays and by the time you got to a varsity field you were ready. It took me 4 years and even then it took another 3 or 4 for everything to slow down for me.
But now w/the shortage of officials due to crazy parents/coaches/etc a lot of new officials get thrown right into the fire on Fridays and their lack of experience is amplified.

I hear you. There’s no good answer. I do worry about new officials staying on because they get blasted by parents/coaches on a daily basis.
