Great list. Number 6 is a good one, if you are always availible guess who's goign to get called when they need someone last minute or when schedules have changed.

I agree with Snake. If you want to move up, never say no or turn back a game, unless it is a matter of life or death. I have seen it so many times that the new guy that wants to work get games over the veteran that picks and chooses which games he wants to work.
Also, be available for scrimmages, work on the chain crew or as a ball boy whenever possible, and always volunteer for other odd jobs for your association. If you do these things, people in the association will recognize you and you will move up a lot faster in the association.
