This was my second season doing these games but I really don't see myself doing another. I am beginning to lose control over my emotions from the constant barrage of comments. What is the step's involved to get the training and certification needed to officiate the real games? I live in Indiana if that is a factor.

Go to the local association, talk to other officials. I'm sure that there will be some youth leagues coming up for you to do, but then you get coaches that are wannabes and parents.
Adult leagues are tough, you only talked about T's for cussing, what is your threshold for other T's? You may be getting more abuse because you are letting it happen. You have read many posts about giving a coach a stop sign, well
you can do that for a player,too. Handle it early and don't waver from it, warn then T, don't warn and warn and warn.
Whack a guy early and they will have to be really stupid to keep testing you.
Good luck.
