The best thing that I can say is that your area may have an instructional summer league for middle school students. See if they have referees or a camp that goes along with this. In my area they did. You need to learn the rules and see plays. Only after you have seen the same sort of occurrence will you truly be able to tell what has happened. The advantage to this is that because its instructional, the coaches understand that you may be learning as well. Not sure what area you are in but ask the officials that you work with. Also try and pick their brains on plays that you have questions about but do this during a time out, half time, or after the game.
See plays, and have fun.
