Mom, the answer you give your 9 year old is simple. If she brings up the officiating,which would surprise me, and the reason would be she heard some "concerned parents" screaming about it, simply tell her "Honey, it's a tough job, and I'm sure the refs did the best they could. (even if you don't really believe it yourself) The refs will make mistakes but it will even out in the long run because half the mistakes will favor your team. You just go out and have fun and do your best and don't worry too much about the officials."
