Welcome to Fed. rules!
As others have noted, the differences between codes is the biggest gotcha.
And if you add more sanctions, it only gets more complex, and that applies to players & coach/parents too. Though, as FUBLUE notes, those that do multiple sanctions / leagues / age levels / etc. usually only get better. The real reason? Varied experience.
Especially early on, and early in each new year, I suggest making notes of the differences between codes as you read thru the rules. That exercise reinforces the differences in your mind.
Then, review the difference notes sometime during the day before the game, just to get the right rules fresh in your mind.
And remember to make sure you have the shirt with the right patch on it in your bag when you leave the house!
