Welcome! 50 is NOT too old!
I’m 54 and now in my eighth season. For me it may have been a mid-life crisis. Looking for something different to do. My son was playing grade school ball and so my interests in the game was re-sparked.
My games are 5 thru JV. No desire to do V games.
I like being part of the game. Like the exercise and like to be a “teacher”, not a coach.
I hate, like every ref, making a mistake. But you’re going to blow a call. Learn from it. Check the rule or case book and move on. I hate the parents screaming at the refs. At least with a screaming coach, I can take care of it with a warning or T.
Proficient? Hey I learn something every year. This forum and case book always keeps me on my toes, and I look up situations that have occurred in my games or games I watch. Seems like there is always a unique situation every year that I double check the ruling in the book.
Best wishes!
