I feel for you, as I was in the same boat the first two years I umpired. You didn't mention if there were 'local'
rules in the rec league. Rec always has some local rules and they always supercede any book rule.
If you have to, make small card like lists of things you need to remember for each ASA and USSSA as well as the local
rules. Type them and then laminate them. They should fit in your pocket. Pull them out secretly between innings if you have to, but for sure before and between games. You'll
be surprised how quickly you'll learn! Also, ask your partner between innings to refresh your memory and also for
tips on how to be better. My first UIC did these cards for me, and man, did they help.
I had slow pitch girls, boys, women and men, and fastpitch rec ball at 5 different parks that all had local rule nuances.

GOOD LUCK!!!
Let us know your progress :>)
