Hey, sorry I'm late to the conversation but there are a few things that make up for inexperience (I'm only at 5 years myself).
Hustle - I'd be pissed too if some ref that was 30ft from the play blew a whistle on a play he couldn't keep up with.
Blow loud and have a straight arm - they'll believe much of what you say as long as you're confident and crisp.
Never do the wrong 'over the back' mechanic - I hate that. It's a push or its not. None of this hula-dance signal bullsh*t.
And if you can, find someone who can critique you from the sidelines. I started working for a college intramural department and there's no better way to learn than having someone assess you every 3rd or 4th game.
Oh, and give someone a T, so you get your first one over with - its such a big deal until you give a few.
Good Luck
