Female Officials

[zebraman]

Our HS girls assoc has 95 refs. 7 of them are women and 88 are men.

Our HS boys assoc has 88 officials. Only 1 is a woman and 87 are men.

35 of us work for both the girls and boys HS associations. The others work for either one group or the other (although that is changing and more officials work for both groups each year).

In my women's CC group, there are 80 officials. 25 are women and 55 men.

We work pretty hard to recruit women with very limited success. Many of the female former players that we have recruited just hate the idea of some idiot up in the stands yelling at them.
