I found the Umpire position well suited for me also, as a new official last year, and a lineman from long ago.... But some habits don't go away. My very first varisty game, very first running play, my first move was to prepare to make a tackle when the ball carrier was coming at me... I quickly remembered I was no longer a D-tackle and let the ball carrier go by. Old habits come back quickly. That desire to tackle reappears perodically, but I have been able to quell that feeling. I can just imagine never officiating a game again if I followed through.
I found I really enjoyed being in the middle, felt like home. yet, this year I do want to get experience at the wings, that's one of my goals. |

* By the way... Just finished placing my order at honigs for my starter package based on your recommendations. If anyone else will be calling there, ask for Jimmy. A great guy and huge help too. Nice place to order from. Thanks. |

I bought a mesh shirt from Honigs two seasons ago for summer ball. Love it. I was going to buy another, but heard they had a recall last season. Something to do with your problem and the fact that the stripes faded after a few washes. I'm hoping that their problems get "ironed out" because I sure would like to get another one. I even use it now in the fall because it is so comfortable. LOVE the mesh hats also.

Had my second get together with the others last night to do some reviewing of the rules and mechanics open book test to be sent in. It was like a "Tastes great! Less filling!" commercial.
Half would holler "True!" and half would holler "False!" then the debates would start. I now feel a lot better about things! This is going to be a very good time, getting back out onto the field, and glad I decided to ref. Better yet... Glad I did some research and found this forum! |
