Hi,
Great way to start. Listen, Listen, ask GOOD questions no- "What if an Alligator crawls on the court when the balls in the air during last second of a tied game" type questions.
This is an exaggeration but take it from a long time former clinitian I guarantee you will hear some ridiculous "What If" questions. Don't you ever do it or you will have everyone's eyes rolling.
Have a great clinic and good luck in your future career.

If you are brand spanking new, you need to ask as many questions as you can. The "What if" types of questions while you are at a Development Camp, are perfect and very appropriate for a brand new official like yourself. Who gives a darn if people are rolling their eyes? You need to learn somehow and asking questions are going to get you close to what you are supposed to do. Unless you are going to a camp where you are trying to get hired, then that is a different story. You are not going to get hired at some major level when you have never worked a single game before.

Most of all have a lot of fun.

Peace
