When I started reffing at age 16, I only had a rule book. I drew upon experience playing the game and trying to read and comprehend the rules. I reffed little kid's games my first year and added and adult rec league my second year. Later on in college, I reffed intermural games and attended a clinic and watched videos.
I knew how to manage a game, but my rule knowledge and mechanics lacked quite a bit.
