As told to my by another poster in my "first varsity assignment" thread:

Slow down, call the obvious, and don't suck.


Remember: after you blow the whistle, you have all the time in the world... the game won't start again until you're ready.

You may be surprised to learn that, in a way, calling varsity boys is actually easier than calling a game involving little kids.

I can see from just the difference in calling a more skilled middle school team vs a more unskilled one.

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!
