Smile Stick with it

Rookie,
I started refereeing at 44. I am now 51 and I love it. Stick with it. It gets better and better.

Bad partners are something you have to live with. Coaches on the other hand, never change. They try to work a referee forever. After 3 years I began to do Varsity games. The first year all I ever heard was " That's a JV call" I still make the same calls now that I made my first year on Varsity, but no more complaints from the coaches, well, I mean no more " That was a JV call", now that just tell me I was completely wrong about the call regardless of what the call was....I can be 6 feet from the play and they are 60 feet away and they see it better than I do.

Stick with it, with time you will learn to love it much more than you do today.
