First official Varsity game
I have my first official, in-the-books Varsity game (I've done varsity level scrimmages and tournaments) this coming Thursday. It will be 3-man with one of my friends and a guy I've never met but heard "bad" things about him.
Could some of you experienced 3-man officials give me some tips about Varsity games? I don't want to f*ck this up. I'm kind of nervous, and actually may not be doing it anyways because I f*cked up my hip last night during the games I had. I was hardly able to run during my wreck games today (5 of them) and I don't have much of a break this whole week before Thursday to just sit down and relax. I got CYO games tomorrow, a JV Girls game on Monday, and three JH games on Wednesday. Tuesday I will be going in to work for most of the day. |

Remember to call all the over-the-backs and reaches. :D

Call a "flop" if you see it. :D
Sorry. Couldn't resist. :cool: Hope it goes well for you! :) |

First of all, if your hip prevents you from being able to get up and down the floor, you are better off letting the assignor know. While a delay can be bad for the impatient official, performing poorly could be much worse. Otherwise, have a good solid pre-game, relax, be focused on your primary, trust your partners and SLOW DOWN....as most tend to speed their mechanics during these situations. Good luck.... |

2. Get out of the habit of using the f-word. |

His team was losing pretty badly, so I didn't say anything, but I wanted to say, Your right, this is not football, and also take a look at the rule book you tool! Oscar |

That's why I'm trying to stop verbalizing the fouls I call. |
