My advice to you would be:
1. Know the rules forward and back.
2. Ref advantage-disadvantage.
3. Hone your people skills. You'll need it when dealing with coaches and the table.
4. Keep a journal and make a note of what you did right and what you did wrong.
5. Work to make your mechanics perfect. If you look like you know what you're doing (even if you don't) they'll believe your calls.
6. If you don't know how to apply the rule don't call it. After the game find out how.
7. Have an experienced Ref. watch you. Don't take his/her critique personally.
8. You will miss calls (weall do) forget about it and try to get it right next time.
9. Do as many games as time allows especially at the lower levels this is where all the weird plays happen.
10. Above all have fun.
Good luck and have a great season.
