Don't be overwhelmed by the rulebook. You need to know it, but don't memorize rules so much that you forget to just referee the game. Use your common sense and just call the game as you would want it called if you were playing. Ask yourself if the player gained an advantage illegally or not. Do not ball watch, learn from your mistakes, and have fun ! You WILL get better with more experience and don't think of yourself as a rookie when you work with an experienced official. You are just as important to the game as that experienced official. I just found this site. Lots of good info in here, I will be reading for weeks!
