You're in L.A. You might do well to contact some of the veteran Los Angeles teams to serve as a mentor team for you--kind of show you the ropes, or exactly what you're getting into. (Trust me, there are quite a few that will be willing to work with you--I was on one of the mentoring teams in the Beach Cities/South Bay area in high school.)
