Does anyone know where I can find a list of differances between the boys and girls game? If not can someone please tell me the major rules diferances. (shot clock, backcourt, other..?) I have reffed mostly boys games, but i have a girls freshamn team game next weekend and need some review, thanks!
At the national level, there are no differences except for the size of the basketball. Some state associations legislate differences regarding issues such as shot clock, 10 second backcourt, etc. Without knowing what state you're in, no one can answer this question for you.
One difference I have found in the pregame, however, is that the girls have a tendency to have more stuff in their hair that needs to be removed
After writing the above, I checked your profile and see you are in Washington state. You can email Ron Pilo or someone else from Seattle for help. I work in Oregon and don't cross the Columbia River to ref because my visa has expired and I don't like changing my money at the border
