Nah, not really. The general stuff: know the rules (and differences between FIFA, NISOA and NFHS) and apply them with a dose of common sense; game management; work hard. You'll be doing one-man games, probably, and you won't see everything, but you'll have some credibility in the bank if coaches see you hustling. Good luck.
Edit: especially with little kids, where you may start, there will be a lot of bodies bouncing around. Consider intent, advantage, and the general flow of the game.
