New ref...Scared to DEATH!!!

[Art N]

We all started somewhere, right?
I'd say some things to consider are (and you may just want to focus on one or two these each time out):

(1) Like Mick said "blow your whistle". Some new ref's don't like to blow it loud.
(2) watch "your" lines (side and end line) and only blow your whistle when it crosses your lines.
(3) watch your area or "primary "
(4) don't follow the flight of the ball when you're under the hoop. watch for the contact on rebounds
(5) get position and angles on plays.

Smile & have fun.
Remember...you probably still know more than the players and coaches at this age!
