Now that's a different animal!!!!

Go to the NFHS website and review 3-man mechanics. Have a good discussion with the rest of the crew prior to the game to make sure you're all on the same page as far as mechanics and coverage of runs to the open side, passes, kick plays, etc.
Have your running shoes on.
Hustle - don't hurry.
You will have to blow your whistle in a 3-man crew - more important to see the ball before you blow it.
Remember to work wide - you have a lot of room to cover.
Talk to your association and encourage them to contact the league about using 4-man crews. 3-man can't cover today's game. Offer to take a pay cut, if necessary. It will pay off in the end.
See it before you call it.
