Many of the above suggestions are great, especially if you can find a mentor. I am fortunate that I have 3 or 4 mentors who have helped me along the way. As important as studying the rules and learning the proper mechanics and signals are the most important thing when you are beginning is working as many games as possible. Find a rec league, middle school league or CYO league in your area and work as much as possible. Theory and rules will take you only so far but but doing games regardless of the level will give you the experience you need. And finally, if at all possible have someone film you from the stands. Although watching the tape can be brutal I know it always helps me to see how I look on the court, my position and mechanics,etc.
