Seeing this was a scrimmage where volunteers were needed to officiate, the coaches should be happy to get someone who at least knows the rules and wants to do the right thing in terms of positioning and such.

Granted, if I was ever going to make the transtion into officating as an avocation, I'd be studying the mechanics manuals as much as possible until it became second nature

Also, this also assumes that 6th grade girls coaches even know officials mechanics. Sometimes, getting them to know the basic rules of the game -- let alone the league specific rules -- is a challenge

BillyMac:

That image is very helpful. What I was envisioning as the PCAs wasn't too far off from this diagram.

And thanks to everyone else who offered feedback.
