What you described happens to most officials when they first move up a level. What I generally tell these people when they are working with me is to key of me to get a feel for the flow of the game .Always have a good Pre-game-this will prepare you and get you into the game before it starts. In Canada our officials always have a short talk with both coaches prior to the game where we introduce ourselves etc. This procedure is very good at breaking the ice- so to speak- and making the official, who is new to the level feel more at home.This will go a long way to overcoming that initial nervousness.
