First Varsity Assignment!
 
Just got my first varsity assignment! It'll be a girls game in some sort of tournament. Can't wait for November 15th!

Thanks to all you who have answered a question of mine, no matter how silly.

Congrats, enjoy, let us know how it goes, and most importantly - don't forget rule #1! :p

Speaking of that, haven't had a Padgett report in a while.......

Stiff -

Just remember that the players will be a little bigger, stronger and faster and what neccesarily is a foul in a jv game may not be a foul in a varsity game......

Good Luck !!!!!

That's great! Call the obvious and don't miss the obvious. Good Luck!

... and in my opinion, a varsity game is usually much, much, easier to officiate than a subvarsity game.

Yet, at the same time, don't change anything you've been doing. You'll find yourself in more trouble if you try to change what you call and don't call than if you just overcall the game a little bit. The more things you try to change, the more you'll mess up.

There is a time to adapt to the bigger/faster play but I'm going to guess that the specific game that he got for his first Varsity assignment isn't one where he needs to worry about that.
