Also try to find a non state sanctioned league to start in, typically in the fall or spring. Avoid stepping onto the court for the first time in a state sanctioned game, even if it's just middle school/junior high.

Get in the rule book.

Go watch varsity games that you have no horse in and watch the referees.
