I have been working hard this summer bringing along some guys that I got into officiating this past season. My main thing that I am having trouble getting them to do is use their voice. There is no worse way to sell a good call than a weak whistle and no voice. Yet, the worst call in the world will be quickly forgotten if you have a strong whistle and a strong voice with it. Don't worry so much about pointing, bird-dogging, or reporting, just use your voice and nobody will know that you didn't point or put up the right numbers with your fingers. On out-of bounds calls, blow the whistle and say "WHITE" or whoever's ball it is, you won't have to point that way everyone will already know, and don't don't don't say 'off-white, blue'...
