Ensure to come back and tell us: how wonderful it was; how quiet and appreciative the parents were of your efforts; how the coaches knew all the rules and shared with you; and how the players are all headed for Duke, Memphis, Ky, Ks, and NC!
Good luck!

Good luck! I have my first game tonight, a Sophomore boys game. Two 8th grade girls games tomorrow and a pair of 7th/8th grade boys games on Thursday.

I am doing a lot of reffing at that level. It's fun if I have the right attitude. I do a fair amount of preventive officiating, some instructional officiating in the rec leagues at this age and some instruction for coaches as well. The biggest problem can be the score keeper and clock operator. I make sure they concentrate on the basics and communicate with each other throughout. Good luck - let us know how it goes. |

Just got back...I made it.
My partner was an older gentleman with a limp. Needless to say we didn't do much switching. I did make a note of when it should have happened though. Got a few whistles from him in my area, but not too much of a problem The games themselves were ok, and only one out of four coaches said anything to me, and he was asking a question. Had one play where I was L, and A1 shot the ball from behind the basket and it hit the basket supports. I blew the whistle, and then immediately realized it wasn't my whistle to blow. Oh well, the game wasn't close and we played on. Had one comical situation...beginning of the second half, it's A's ball. A1 forgets which basket he's going towards and when he gets the inbound starts heading for the wrong basket. He then realizes his mistake, stops dribbling, and starts walking back toward the division line. Felt bad for the kid but we had no choice but to call travelling. Other than that, nobody got hurt, and there was no overtime! |
