Wade, congratulations on your selection to do that wood bat tourny!!
No, you don't have to work your way up the ladder to be a successful umpire. I've met a few guys who work MiLB that have never even done HS. Of course those are few and far between and they were recent graduates of Harry's school working A ball.
And yes, some mechanics are the same, whether softball or baseball. What will trip you up, though, is not having a solid rule foundation. So, I highly suggest you 'read up' on balks.
