The lady who got me interested in reffing is well known here in Michigan. She has given me similar advice: slow down, do your homework, work on your technique, dress the part, observe other officials, ask questions and listen, etc. She has done many Michigan state finals in, I believe, 4 different sports. I know I can't jump up to Varsity in my first year. I do all JV and some Jr High games. In Michigan, the girls season (fall) does not overlap with the boys (winter). I had a number of girls games, and, just love the boys games (more speed, more intensity, bigger crowds, rowdier fans...). I am EAGERLY awaiting "the call up", though (I know, have patience...). Having coached for 13 years, this has been a change. But, I'm diggin it. I love this forum too. Great learning tool.
