No Pregame???

[dacodee]

Hello,

In my first year as an official. The instructors at the clinics I've attended have always stressed the importance of a pregame. While I have made every attempt that I know how, all of them just say the same thing. "Cover your area and keep eye contact." I seek feedback and clearly let them know that I'm new. But, it's as if they don't want to bother with a pregame.

What's up with that?
