You don't really need to start asking this question until at least 50, so no. Depending on your goals, however, you don't have much time to waste, so get started in the off season:

-- get in (better) shape
-- find a clinic that you can attend and sit with the wings; you may not know everything they are talking about, but you'll start off on the right foot
-- read this forum and get an idea how officials think and do their job
-- grab a rule book (Texas and Mass. use NCAA; all others use Federation) and start familiarizing yourself with the rules; pay particular attention to the rule on definitions (NCAA rule 2; Fed rule ???)
-- go to all training sessions and work as many scrimmages as possible; next season, work as many games as possible
