Does anybody find that you have to change your calling styles for boys vs. girls when doing games? Is your calling style more affected by the style of play during the game itself?
Where I ref, htere is a different reffing style between the city (Chicago) boys and suburban boys games, and a similar difference between the city girls and suburban girls games as well. I have been part of games where a play that is a foul in a suburban game is 'talked off' in a city game. Suburban games get more handcheck calls and less 'incidental contact'. Suburban girls games are called a lot tighter still. Is anyone else working both sides and noticing this as well?
