Brandan, thinking back to my first game (which was a freshman HS game), don't be afraid to blow your whistle on fouls. You will have a tendency of holding back due to first game jitters and thinking about how you are going to report the foul. Take your time and relax.

Also let your partner know this is your first game. He will help you. Maintain good eye contact with your partner at all times and don't put the ball into play until he/she is ready.

You may also have some double whistles. In those cases, go to your partner to discuss.

Good luck!
