In my chapter, we have 4 female refs (out of 112). Two I have worked with on several occaisions. One got her first boys varsity game this year. PA also does not make a distinction between girls and boys games - once cerified, you can do both. It is awkward to have the same dressing facilities. I did a three person game this year (girls varsity) with one of the female refs. The other ref and I had to stand in the hall after the game while she showered, the she stood outside when it was our turn. I don't care who I ref with as long as they are competent. I will also mention there is an all female chapter in Pittsburgh (near where I live). I have done a JV girls game and had the female crew come in behind me to do the varsity game. Again, we all used the same dressing room.
