1st Varisty Game Tomorrow Night
 

From knowing the teams I don't expect it to be a closely contested game however I am excitied about being selected to do a varsity game so early in my career. I am worried about being overwhelmed by the quickness of the game. Any advice?

My Advice ...
 

Stay in your primary. Have fun.

Relax, be confident, and have fun.

You're ready or you wouldn't have received the assignment!

Congrats!
 

Don't rush things.

I think I do well at taking advise and this is one of the first things I was told to work on and I think I do a much better job now than earlier in the year when I started. However I still catch myself trying to rush through the reporting process.

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.

NASO will not be very happy to read this.

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

amen to that

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

What is the problem with what I said?

He is making a joke about another thread that NASO put out about social media. You said nothing wrong.

Congrats and have fun. Call what you see and see what you call.

Peace

I like it!:D

Of course now that I said it, the game will go into triple ovetime to prove my genius. ;)

Rule #1?
 

In that case, send your game report to Mark Padgett! :p
