Hi, my name is Brandan. I am 15 and from Louisiana and I am fixing to start calling summer leagues as well as recreation and Jr. High games. Is there anything that I should do/ no do? Any thing will help.

Thanks

Get a real whistle, like a Fox 40, and put lots of air in it when you make a call.

Signals, positioning, and judgement come with practice and experience, but the two things you can control the first time you are out there are a strong whistle and voice.

Try to find experienced officials in your area that do high school ball and use them as mentors if you can.

Have fun, and good luck.

Let us know how it goes.
