Recently I shadowed a first game ever kid (24 years old) on some elementary aged kids game. When I say shadowed, I mean 3 refs on the court, working 2 person...I followed him everywhere and talked to him about what I was looking at, where to stand, when to close down, where to move etc. Since this is YMCA, perhaps they (the Y and the coaches) would understand....it's a rec league for them to learn how to play, why can't it be the same for the new official?
Like your guy, he didn't blow the whistle much. If I could do it over, I'd do it again with my own whistle in tow and blow the fouls he missed so he could see...in otherwords, he should have shadowed me instead.
Somebody else posted to have the new ref blow the whistle on any contact they see and they'll pick up what is adv/dis-adv real quickly.
I like what ref2coach said also about some goals...
Hope one of those helps you out...
