I would not worry too much about being rusty. I find that even in the first game of the season, things tend to come back fairly easy.
Having said that, the off-season is great time to brush up on your rules as you mentionned. I have also been reviewing tapes of my games to look for ways of improving. I even put on old NCAA game tapes that I have and observe the refs: their mannerisms, what they call, what they no-call, how they interact with coaches etc...
The off-season is also a good time to work on your conditionning, I have been working out regularly all summer and I am begining to see the results of the strength of cardio training.
