Respond or not i dont care i just wanna vent. If you dont know i officiate high school and youth football and these next two fridays scare the doo doo outa me!!!!! This week im working an A division varsity game (very big deal). But that isnt what scares me that much.....the following week im working my first varsity game at the umpire slot (the ref who's positioned right behind the linebackers). Thats big enough, BUT, the White Hat (AKA the Crew Chief or the man in charge) is one of the top 4 officials in our association and he's the White Hat for both games!!!!!! Needless to say im a lil nervous lol! I just started working as the umpire this year and im thrown into a varsity game with him as my white hat!!!!! AHHHHHH!
Beyond nervous ref!!!!

just keep your confidence and do it.. don't think about what comes natural to you... perform... relax.
Gotta prove yourself sometime. That's how you move up the scale. Just forget he's there and officiate the games as usual.
Thanks guys! I know ill do great but its like your first time riding a roller coaster, cant help the butterflies! LOL

yea but when you get over the first drop then its smooth sailing so after your first call you'll be fine
Too true famous! But honestly as a ref our philosophy is we are facilitators and we don't want to throw our flag. We dont get paid based on how many penelties we throw LOL! Just wait tho guys im gonna go somewhere with this reffing! You'll get to see me on tv one day! In fact im probably going to be doing the Pop Warner super bowl in florida in the next 3-5 yrs! On ESPN!!!! Awesome!
LOL!!!! Well my goal is to do Pac-10/Big 12 but who knows......NFL? LOL and if this does happen if i have a game near any of yalls area you will be invited and given a field pass! Not kidding either, us refs have that power lol!
