Officiating can be very rewarding, but as a complete newbie keep this in mind:
It might be tough but you'll need to develop a thick skin. It might seem that the coaches & parents are insulting you personally at this level...and you would be right. Work your games, do your best, don't let the coaches push you around and completely ignore the parents. If there's a problem with a parent then let the league director handle it.
If you make a mistake (you will) admit it & move on. It's not the end of the world.
And most importantly: have fun!!
