Youth refs have fun on the job

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:

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!
