Hello all. My daughter used to ref youth games and when she gave up, I trained. I can see why she gave up - it's quite a stressful job!
I'm now starting my 2nd season and am looking forward to getting more confident. I did start to enjoy it by the end of the season. Looking to take the plunge to U13s and above - I've only been doing U12s and below so far.
The great thing about being a referee is that you can learn from your mistakes and apply your knowledge the very next week with a clean sheet. That doesn't always happen in life.
I've lurked in some of these threads and am finding the discussions very interesting. There seem to be a few grey areas. Which is why you need a referee/someone to blame!
