Youth refs have fun on the job
August 27th, 2005
What youth job could be more ideal then refereeing youth soccer?
Yes, you’ll get the occasional obnoxious parent, but overall things seem to be pretty smooth for teenagers these days.
Watching the kids enjoy the game and seeing funny plays is just an extra perk, as one ref says:
“Something else you see is when the ball goes out of bounds, kids will tackle each other to see who get to throw the ball in.”
Certainly sounds like another way to enjoy such a great game.
And kids, don’t forget those pads and helmets the next time you start tackling!
