Recently I shadowed a first game ever kid (24 years old) on some elementary aged kids game. When I say shadowed, I mean 3 refs on the court, working 2 person...I followed him everywhere and talked to him about what I was looking at, where to stand, when to close down, where to move etc. Since this is YMCA, perhaps they (the Y and the coaches) would understand....it's a rec league for them to learn how to play, why can't it be the same for the new official?
Like your guy, he didn't blow the whistle much. If I could do it over, I'd do it again with my own whistle in tow and blow the fouls he missed so he could see...in otherwords, he should have shadowed me instead. Somebody else posted to have the new ref blow the whistle on any contact they see and they'll pick up what is adv/dis-adv real quickly. I like what ref2coach said also about some goals... Hope one of those helps you out...

When I worked IM games in college, they would have two days of training and thne the third day was a scrimmage between a bunch of the more experienced refs and one of the frat house teams. They would intruct us to foul and make it obvious during the first rotation of all the trainees and then the second time they came through slack up a little bit. The first time through gave them the experience of seeing a foul and reacting appropriately. The second time through was intended to get them to see the more subtle stuff like a push on the lower body on an airbourn shooter. We did the same with violations like FT violations, halfcourt, traveling, etc. The supervisors would stand next to the trainees and help point stuff out and stop play to point out specific cases/examples. This seemed to work well.
The were some nice bruises that I can remember from the fouls though.

Daughter started officiating last season. Went through a lot of the things already mentioned. Last weekend I worked a few games with her in a MS tourny and was very happy with the confidence and professionalism she has over last year. (still lots of room to improve) My partner also noted this. Last night I got a call from her. She worked a MS game with a newbie. She was laughing about it telling me she finally understood what she looked like last year and even tried to help the newbie out by challenging him to "make calls" by blowing x amount of whistles for violations/fouls etc in each quarter.
