Work as many games as you can. Don't overdo it and burn out, but if you have an opportunity, get on the field.
At meetings, find out who the veterans or training instructors are and listen to them. They are there to help you improve. Do the same with your partner before and after games. You'll get lots of good advice and some that's not so good, but this will help you learn something new every day.
And if you've read the equipment threads, you know you should get the "good" gear and uniforms as soon as you can.
You get back what you put into this. Good luck, and most importantly, have fun.
