this is fun, becuse I'm 14, and I've only been reffing for 1½ year. You don't happen to have an msn or email you can send ot me? I'd love to share excperiences with somebody who knows how it is to ref as a young person (in our case, 14)
And also, tips:
1. Like said, find a mentor, I just did this and found out it helps
a lot
2. Work games, get excperience, always go through games afterwards thinking, what you did good, what you did wrong, how to prevent it from going wrong next time
3. Read through mechanics, read rules, you can't be a good official if you have to think all the time. The stuff should be printed so deep you don't have to think
4. Learn from mistakes, we all make them, but if you're smart, you just don't do them, you use them and turn them into a good lerning excperience.
good luck, and don't forget to pm a mail and msn (if you've got any) to me please
