Two thoughts: 1) if you want the JUCO/College games, then you should accept those dates and turn back your prior games without a second thought (unless you've already accepted a college game). If I were an assignor, I wouldn't consider you for future assignments if you give a middle school/high school game priority over a college game. 2) Have a patient whistle. The JUCO kids are stronger, more athletic, and quicker than the players you're used to. They can handle and play through more contact than you realize. The game is faster and you'll feel like you've got to "keep up" with the pace of play. Concentrate on slowing down. You certainly don't want to been seen as an official who makes high school calls in a college game. The good officials learn to judge what contact is a foul and what contact to pass on.
