Teaching new church league refs

[JugglingReferee]

If the players are very much learning, I'd tell them to ignore the small infractions, such as a small travel or something that looks like a double dribble. But, when they do decide that something needs to be called, to call it and to stand by it.

Definitely go over the PCAs - get them trained on that from the start.

But don't mention things that will never happen, like above the rim play. 3-pointers - meh. Might not even have a line in the church gym.

Also stress they can slow down when reporting fouls. There's no rush.

Cover transition and helping if there's a press.

Those are my suggestions, for starters.
