Show up for the game on time, meaning at least 30 minutes prior to game time. Use the time to properly prepare to do the game including a good pregame with your partner.
Develop good timing on calls. Good timing = not too fast. It ain't nothing till you call it so make sure you saw what you think you saw and then call it. Never call a pitch until after it has hit the catcher's mitt, and never call a out on the bases until you know the fielder did not drop the ball.
Never make a call "on the move". Get set and make the call from a stationery position. Also, don't get too close to a play.
Study the rules for whatever level of ball you will be calling and learn as much as you can, but make sure you know the right answer for the MYTHS.
