Congrats Matt S. on receiving your varsity assignment.
I think that you can't go wrong with the advice that you have received thus far on your concerns but would like to add just a few things that may also be able to assist you.
1. Referee the defense - this is the first thing that you
want to do in order to decide if legal position has been
established. From there pick up the offensive player and
determine who caused the contact.
2. See the whole play from beginning to end. Work hard at
trying not to blow your whistle to quickly. There is
nothing wrong with having a late whistle as long as it
is the correct call.
3. Remember that you are officiating players and don't base
your decisions on gender. (girls and boys while at the
high school level are participating under the same rules)
4. Consistency- you and your partners must see the same game
on both ends of the floor from the beginning to the end
of the game.
Best wishes!
