as the game progressed on there is a girl with a Major concussion, one with an elbow so swollen that she can't bend it, one with torn tendons in her shoulder and about 5 others that where all iced up at the end of the game (not all on my team)
When the elbow girl was thrown to the floor by her jersey right in front of the lead official I of course complained. She said there was no foul and threatened to throw me out. (no T given - No warning - Not asked to sit down)
What would be proper procedure to approach the association about this ref and this incident? or if I have this official again how do I properly approach them about handling very rough game play without putting them in the position of being on the defensive?

The official appears to be very defensive. He'll be a JV official for the rest of his life.
Best way to handle this? Show your AD the tape of the game and specifically describe the safety issues that occurred during the game, combined with the official being unprofessionally defensive about it. The AD will either takec are of it, or not.
Have that official again? Not worth your time to even try to communicate with him. Make your decisions accordingly as to your behvior and tactics.
