I do some games for a local CYO league which does have differing rules based on grade.
We have a meeting to go over the league specific rules each year. All officials who want to work these games must attend.
This year they tried to keep each official in no more than two groups of rule sets so that one doesn't get confused about which set you are calling.
We each get a copy of the league rules just like the coaches. At the league coaches meeting, there is an official who covers the rules with coaches.
Last week I had a technical foul on a 4th grader for slamming the ball following my partner call him for a violation. The coach says as I report it to "Not take this so seriously". I replied " better to learn sportmanship now than 5 years from now"
