I am a new official and I am doing my first game tomorrow, two of them actually, at the middle school level. I coached that level for a few years so I know to expect anything and everything. Any advice?

I survived my floor test but I was so concerned with getting positioning right that I missed several calls. It was hard with someone screaming in my ear all night telling me where to be standing and stuff. I hope that doesn't happen tomorrow. Thanks for any advice.

There are many obvious things that I can tell you about the first game, let me mention one that is sometimes overlooked (Pun Intended).
BEFORE PUTTING THE BALL INTO PLAY MAKE SURE YOU ESTABLISH EYE CONTACT WITH YOUR PARTNER!

The other thing is SLOW DOWN...... The game cannot until you and your partner are ready.

Have FUN!!
