Yup. When we hold training clinics for intramural flag football here at Georgia Southern (small time football, but it gives a good example) we line 'em up in a circle with their brand spankin' new Fox 40s. Go around the circle four or five times and randomly point at the person and they have to blow their whistle loud and immediately. If they screw up, they do it again. Until they get it right. It's harder than most people think...

The timidness will be over before you know it. I started out working Intramurals, became pretty darn good at that and then got started with my local GHSA association. I wasn't timid because--while it was a whole new breed of horse, it was still a horse. The more experience they get, and the more games they work, they'll become stronger.
Same thing here - except different school.

Had a couple of soccer games with partners with incredibly weak whistles - made sure we went over the technique at halftime.
