Welcome!

I wouldn't say overwhelmed. I would say it took longer than I thought to just be competent, much less good.

Some advice I received here that may help:
1. Be in the right place, look in the right place, call the obvious.
2. Practice your signals. Crisp signaling gives you confidence and helps with communication.
3. Work as many games as you can, trying to work on 1 thing (getting angles, strong whistle, patient whistle) at a time.
4. Realize you will make mistakes, no one has ever called a perfect game.
5. Study the rule book, case book and officials manual.
6. Read this forum. VERY helpful to a newbie like myself.
