I learned a lot from camp....I would HIGHLY
recommend everyone attend a camp, even veterans
if they've never attended one.
I've seen Vets do things that rookie officials
should be doing.
>Watch and make calls in your area of responsibility.
>Watch off ball, don't watch the ball when out of your
area of responsibility.
>If you're the lead, don't watch the ball through the
goal, it's not your responsiblity.
>Definetly make eye contact w/your partner b/f
administering anything...
>Sell your calls and use crisp mechanics
>Look sharp in your appearance. Remember peoples opinions
about you are formed in the first minute or so of contact
with you.
>Have good communication skills with players and coaches,
even if they are wrong.
Camps are a must, in my opinion, if you want to improve
yourself as an official and move up.
