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

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