20 yards (no underestimate)
no problem believing that whatsoever.

don't understand how a woman of that size is allowed to ref a game
Because there isn't anybody else out there to do it. There is an incredible shortage of referees in this area. If you want to narrow it down to referees who are physically fit, you're really getting into smaller numbers.
I will confess that I spent years, as a player, coach and parent, unleashing untold verbal assaults on referees. After one particularly trying season as a parent/coach, I gave the assignor in charge of the ref's a pretty good earful. When I finished, he calmly told me that they were always looking for new volunteers to step into the line of fire. Now I am one of "them" and have been for the last 6 years.

You probably work 4x as hard for the money as she does.

LOVE hearing stories like this. Very impressive that you put your money where your mouth was. Far too many ignorant, over-zealous parents out there bad-mouthing refs from the sidelines.
That is such a thankless job & these guys/gals really seem to do this for the love of the game (& because they seem to realize someone has to do it)
