Once you learn the basic spots for enforcement and the definitions, you will have a good start toward understanding the rules.

I look forward to the fresh air, teamwork and working with kids every Friday night in the fall!
I agree, I moved from FB to BB last year and to me basketball is 10 times harder to officiate. As was said if you can do bB then FB "should" come easier.
