I agree with the last 2 posts. Focus on your mechanics don't get too hung up on knowing the rules right now. A better understanding of the rules will come as you log more grass time. Learning the rules are important, but LOOKING like you know what your doing is probably more important as a rookie. You could know every rule in the book, but if you look lost on the field could make for a long day. Hopefully you'll have a veteran in your crew who can teach you and help with any screwy situations that develop.

The best advice that I was given as a 1st year official was, have fun and act like you've been there before. Odds are the only people in the stadium that know your a rookie is the crew that your working with.
