Reffing is a great experience. I hope you get your shot, and I hope you enjoy it. (I know I did). Wear comfortable shoes.

Good advice. It is also good to volunteer at off-season events. You can ask to be a "back-up ref" if some of the other refs want to take a break.

Also... when you are a ref, be ready for loooong days. Sometimes, you can get really tired. Really... tired. So tired that you might even sleep in the next morning and miss a few matches. *ducks*
