What I remember about my first game...
Well 3 years ago, I went to reffing school, studied my rulebooks and got a phonecall to go ref an age 9-10 girls rec league game.
Well I get there, and who do I see in the stands (there weren't bleachers, just chairs lined up against the wall) the high school assignor. Now I'm so nervous, because I want to do a good job and get noticed. Well I'm never going to forget that nerve-wrecking experience. I was so scared to screw up that I barely made any calls, although the calls I did make were dead on (at least I thought so). Just with that age group its hard to determine what to call and what to let go. It was a tough game to call.
But at the end of the game, he came over and gave me some pointers and told me I did a good job. Now I didn't start getting games from this assignor until last month, but I'm blaming that on my age, and hopefully it wasn't based on my performance in my first game
