Lineup card is a big help with this initially - check it between plays periodically. It will take a while, maybe a season or two, but eventually you'll learn to recognize the patterns.

Sort of.....a player may contact the floor across the centerline with one or both feet/hands as long as a part of the foot/feet or hand(s) remain(s) on or above the center line. Contacting the floor across the center line with any other part of the body is illegal.
A player contacting any part of the net, including net cables or antennas is a net foul. Exception - it is not a foul if a player's loose hair touches the net or if the force of the ball hit by an opponent pushes the net or cables into the player.
These are covered in Rule 9 for NFHS.....

Relax, I said eventually...this is at least a few seasons down the road
In your prematch conference ask your R1 what signals he/she wants from you and let them know if they ask for something you're not comfortable with.
