Welcome to the club! This is also my first year, so I identify completely.

I agree whole-heartedly about the mentor thing. I am lucky enough to work with two other guys (in my other life) who are also referees. One has been at it for 10 years, and another 3. I think that is a good mix because one has the experience and is on varsity level, and one is not that far removed from where I am!

Also, I did purchase the 2-man mechanics video someone mentioned. Although not the greatest, I did find it helpful.

And one other tip- read this forum! And read the rulebook over and over!! I'm amazed at some of the guys who have been around for a couple years and do not know the rules...


GOOD LUCK!
