JV Girls AAA in Virginia
All went Well! And I had fun! The teams were a mismatch. 15 atheletic girls verses 6 (5 girls by halftime) who were sucking wind by the sexond quarter. What I found- Keeping your eyes on your area is a must- helping partner out on tough out of Bounds calls is a God send Talking with Partner at time outs helps keep things in Balance Half time is a great time to review and to plan for the second half End of the time- TALK! Don't just leave (we talked!) Wished I had a better pre game. Being my first game I needed a better pre game (I did speak to my partner about this Arriving early game me a chance to relax and feel the Gym Arriving in dressed street clothes is nice and makes it more professional Being relaxed (at least outwardly) calms all Using my voice does sell calls (even when I blow them) OK one can not walk while dribbling ( I know that but my hands called a walking violation when it was a carry) Last second shots- Don't call things you can't see when you are the lead- I called a jump ball in hind sight on a guess with 5 seconds to go. The game was a blow out- but it was the most important game going on for me! Thanks for listening! Thank you partner for helping me and making me feel like part of the fraternaty Other things Being at the local HS. I ended up knowing 90% of the kids and their parents- Didn't seem to be a factor. Ok game 2 on Thursday thanks Stewart in Virginia (CVBOA) |

Glad that your "survived" the first game!!!
My response to one of your closing observations, "... it was most important game going on for me!" DO NOT EVER lose that attitude about the game you are officiating, whether it is a 5th grade girls or Vars Boys conference championship game.

YEEEEE HAW !!!!!
Job well done! If we could all carry your level of enthusiasm life would be grand and we wouldn't have nearly as much to talk about in the discussion forum.
Keep after it and keep us cheery. Thanks!

It has been an unusual winter... in fact I have just about decided that there is no such thing as normal weather anymore. We had lower temps in April/May than we are having now.
This was our first morning of actual slick driving - a tiny skiff of snow and temperatures around 30-34. Who'd a thunk it? a dirt brown Christmas in Idaho. We are expecting more snow this week but not appreciably lower temps. Hopefully it is at least snowing in the mountains... gotta supply water and electricity for Oregon/Washinton. Besides I feel a need to go skiing this weekend.
