garn05, welcome to the world of officiating.
Since your OP said that games "will come in time", I assume you do not currently have any games scheduled. Some things to do to prepare without being on a court are:
As stated earlier, practice your mechanics in front of a mirror. Even practive reporting fouls, speaking out loud and reporting in the proper sequence. The report needs to be clear not quick.
Practice putting air in your whistle. A timid whistle looks bad. Know how much "blow" it takes to get a good sharp whistle. Then in a game you will be prepared to use it when needed.
Play a sequence out in your head while you go through the motions. As an example; call a foul as the lead, report it, make any switch that may be required, resume game. It would be great if you had a court to practice on.
Most of all, relax and have fun. You obviously are looking forward to reffing and making an effort to be good at it. That effort puts you well on your way to being a good ref.
Good Luck!
