Newbie Referee

[Robert E. Harrison]

Everyone has given you great advice. I remember feeling after my 2nd yr I was ready for a state championship. I went to a couple of camps and got video of me working with partners and watching myself hit me like a ton of bricks. I had a lot of work left on the floor before I wanted anything to do with an upper level game. Also working with competent partners helps. A lot of games go smoothly because your partner(s) know what they are doing and all you have to worry about is your area. Things can go south in a hurry with the wrong partner. Also remember, your partner is your only friend out there. It is always nice to walk off the court knowing your partner had your back.
