Unless you are planning to only work youth ball, maybe summer ball, you should be a state licensed official(which may include classes and a test). Your assoc will have that info (in Ohio the classes are starting now).
Your officiating experience in the other sports is an advantage over other new umpires. Read the rules. Do as many scrimmages as you can. Attend others and watch the umpires.
Good Luck
