Soccer

has a lot of similarities to basketball. Lots of physical contact and judgment of whether players were able to play through it. Relatively simple rules wise, but lots of advantage/disadvantage situations and need for awareness with what is going on with the players.

Volleyball is a challenge for someone from outside the sport. Looks easy, but it is not. In my 3rd year I am just starting to get comfortable, relax and officiate. Handling calls remain inconsistent.

Softball, slowpitch and now some fastpitch. Similar to basketball in that positioning and mechanics are important and rules understanding is something one can improve upon to a great degree.
