Looking for some advice here from the "veterans"...
I was contracted to do back to back games tonight(5th & 6th graders). Unfortunatly, my partner became ill shortly before the games and they could not find a replacement. I then step onto the court (I'm a 1st year official and this was my 2nd game of the season outside of Rec leagues) and I begin to have many things go through my mind. TRIAL BY FIRE!! Actually it didn't go too bad. I had an instance where I could not determine an out of bounds play and I went to the arrow but other than that nothing major went wrong.
Has this happened to anyone else before? It may be something that never happens again to me but I'm looking for advice regarding floor position. I mainly stayed between the foul lines but I had a hard time with watching play underneath.
Any help would be appreciated???
