			First of all, good luck and have a good time.  Try ro remember that no one is really there to look at you so don't try to be obvious.  They will know your there by a strong whistle, voice and good mechanics.  You will miss calls, we all do, every game.  Make sure you have a pre-game with your partner (if possible).  I am sure your partner has done this before and can appriciate your position.  If it is not a policy in your association already, call your partner and introduce yourself and ask if he / she will be there early for a pre-game.  If your partner was not planning on it, maybe he / she could make an effort to do so for your benefit.
 Don't get flustered, your not anyone's friend or buddy out there so keep conversation to a minimum.  Do your best.  Go get em and welcome to the "club".
