Calling At Higher Levels

[ranjo]

I had a opportunity last week to referee two different local college scrimmages, a Division 3 and a Division 1 school. I had a blast!

To this point I have only worked three whistle mechanics at camps, but have become quite comfortable with it. I found the big guys a lot easier to ref than the JV's I have been doing for a couple of years.

I know that there are many game management skills that go along with moving up, but from just an officiating stand point, do you senior officials agree that the varsity athletes are easier to call than the rec leagues and JV levels?
