I agree with Ron. I started at 43, and am progressing fairly rapidly, although not as fast as he did. If you want to move up as fast as possible, work hard. Study the rules, concentrate on the details, be brutally honest about your own shortcomings, go to all the camps you can, work all the games you can, watch the best refs and keep taping your games and learning from the tapes. I think you will move up faster on the women's side, since there doesnt seem to be quite as much competition. Most of all, have fun! An attitude of cheerful enthusiasm is very contagious and helps everyone see your best qualities.
