I survived it.
The score wasn't close (47-17) but I learned alot thanks to the great partner I had.

#1 I was so focused on not missing the action I was missing some mechanics
a. mirror the start clock as the trail in the frontcourt
b. coming up sharply with my stop clock signal
c I rushed a few times

#2 I need to opperate wider as the trail. The team was guard oriented and worked out wide, this was a change from the Middle School I had been doing.

Overall I learned alot. It is a blessing to be working with a vertern partner who is willing to help.

The next day I worked the championship game in a freshman tourny and did a much better job with my mechanics thanks to him.

Just enjoy it. You'll find it to be easier than sub-varsity level. The game is (or should be) much cleaner and you'll find that it's easier to stay alert.

I managed to do this part last Saturday, in what was my 6th Varsity game. As a crew we made the right calls and kept a good pace to the game. On the other hand, we sure could have looked better on switches and rotations. We fouled up the easy stuff!

My experience has been that Assignors purposely do that. Give you a game they won't think is too tough or contentious. Give you something to grow on. You have a lot on your mind and messing up in a tight, closely contested game, between large or rival schools need not be an added pressure.

Just like when I started with MS, F, and then JV games..... Then I worked my way up to a full VG schedule. Again, starting out with better schools against "not so much." I am still working my way up and now do a 50% VB and VG schedule. If I stayed at this schedule I would have no complaints. I am not "there" yet and still have much to learn. It's a process. Coming up slowly did me good.

Continued good luck! As you note, there's always something to work on!

There are exceptions. Our new (last year) assignor seems to put everyone on an even keel. She has already sent the youngest guy we have, who had never registered at any level before this year, to call a varsity game at the biggest school we have. Still trying to figure her criteria for assigning games.

I would not have made it this far without the great input and feedback from the Contributors on this site. Hip Hip Hooray!

Always keep learning! Your passion for the game shows through, the first step to greatness!

Thank you so much for sharing that. I too worked my first varsity men's game at an early age (19) and love to hear other people's stories.

Next step: get video.
