newbie
first time on the softball forum...been doing basketball 4 yrs. had my first softball game today with another newbie offical but thankfully she played ball in hs and college. seemed strange with all the players, batters and chanting from the girls that it was more distracting than i thought it would be...read the rules book and re-read it but until you have to apply it...seems to take a different type of focus to have the confidence of taking control of the game...our assn. asked for us to step up and HELP fill the need of officals for these games...a learning curve is steeper for some than others but please veterans help us to learn the right way, some patience is much needed and very much appreciated. Excuse the rambling just some thoughts after my first game...hope to use this forum as much as i use the basketball forum.
