Find a mentor...someone who's skills and court presence you admire (they should be veteran and highly rated by their association). Ask them to do a few games with you...even if it's summer league, rec ball...whatever. Chances are, they will welcome the opportunity to develop your skills. It will also give them the opportunity to examine THEIR skills, which is something ALL good officials want to do. Take as many games as you can, even if you don't get paid, especially in the off season. You will be surprised at how fast you improve! Good luck.
