Several good suggestions given, Chess - try them.
Here's some phrased a little differently
1-RTFM - Read the F****** manual (rule book AND umpire manual) - there's no substitute.
2-Watch the good umps in your area work a game, then talk with them about the how's & why's...
3-Keep an umpire's diary or journal - make note of everything strange in youur game, what you ruled & so on. Then get the rule book and note what the rule sez. Review this diary a couple of times each year.
4-Now & then, work a higher level game than your normal
5-go back to #1
Addition - One more thing, Chess - welcome aboard.
