Hey Big, you got the first one under your belt. Keep at it and use each game as a learning experience. Youth games are a great place to start. You'll probably see more of the odd ball stuff that you read about in these games than those at the higher levels. Personally, I think the coaches are a bigger pain in the a** at these games too.

You now have something to build on. Don't fret missing some of those block calls. In time the game will slow down for you and you'll catch them. Just don't let the coaches talk you into calling something that's not there. See the whole play!

When I first started it took a good year or so before I really started to feel comfortable out there.

Good luck and keep learning.
