I never played organized football and had limited knowlege of HS rules when I started 4 years ago. Start by learning the definitions in the rule book and go from there.

Become a student of the rules, learn from the vets (after you've figured out which ones know what they're talking about), get a good mentor, keep reading and posting here, work as many games as you can and remember the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it.

I started out with the basic gear in the first year (I purchased a starter package- most places have them) and added to it once I figured out what more I needed/wanted/liked.
