For the female officials out there

[Rita C]

Tonight I reffed with two other female officials, friends. JV game.
We had a nice pregame, different in that we all participated, just one with the card to keep us on track.

We had a couple of varsity officials watching the game who said we officiated a great game. We had felt we did well but the affirmation was nice.

Even the loudmouth fan who usually keeps up a diatribe against the officials was quiet!

I felt like I really showed the official I really am tonight. It felt good.

And guys, this isn't meant to be any kind of put down. It's just so rare to have three women officials on a game, especially with all about the same level of experience and skill. It was a rare, fun experience. Most of the other women in the association live far enough away that it's rare we get to work together.
