newbie -- Before you buy anything beyond a whistle, a striped shirt and some good shoes, figure out who you'll be reffing under, and ask them what you need. The "required" and "allowed" items vary considerably from association, and from rec to NFHS. Also, whoever you're working for first will have suggestions about what are the most important things to pay attention to as you're just beginning.
PS I suggest getting your wife into the stripes, too. I've found being on the court to be a terrific break from the housework and the kids. It's really nice to have some power over the whiners and howlers. At home, if I try to throw my kids a T, they just laugh!
