I'm a 3 sport offical. I think it takes at least 3 years to begin to become a consitently good ref. Hang in there. Learn what you can. Don't take the comments personally. Do your best. If this avocation is for you, you'll learn to roll with the punches and enjoy it. If not, you'll know in time. Don't beat yourself up for first year mistakes. We all made our share of mistakes when we started, some us some really stupid ones. Crawl before you walk, walk before you run, run before you take off and fly. Learn everything you can from seasoned officials. And remember, everyone in the stands knows they can do better than you, but they never have the guts to get on the court to try.
