Claw, scream, kick and demand feedback from other referees. Someone mentioned to make sure you listen to veterans and keep your mouth shut. That's bunk. There's a difference between disagreeing and discussing. Ask questions. If you don't agree, find out their reasoning. Filter out what you can use, smile and say "Thank you, may I have another?"
If your association has mentors, get one and use him/her. Have them tape you on the court and review things you did right as well as things you did wrong. If your association doesn't have mentors, ask them to start!

Most of all, enjoy the ride!
