I am a new ref, just completed six games at youth level. I have encountered players wearing regular glasses. When I mention this to the manager/coach they look at me like I am stupid “they need them to see ref!”
My opinion is that they should only wear the goggle type of glasses as regular glasses are a safety concern for the player.
I have let them play and explained to the coach that it is not my responsibility and the club will be responsible for any problems involving the player. It does seem unfair to exclude a youth player who does not remove his/her glasses.
Any thoughts on this one?
