Weekend ref scramble

I was impressed with ref quality at Hunt Country Fall Classic

[Anonymous]

We had only 1 ref at our morning Hunt Country Classic game. But he did a great job, considering the difficulties.

At the Herndon All-Star tournament, we had only 2 ARs during our last game and no central ref. Crazy, right? But they did the best that they could.

Do they offer higher pay when there is a shortage ?

+1. We had a couple very young and nervous appearing refs for younger ages but they did good, nothing egregious and glad that they were there.

We have had nothing but great refs on the U11 boys fields at the Herndon all star tournament.

Sometimes. But none of this weekend tournaments offered extra.

How much do refs make regularly?

-2. Our refs at Hunt Country Classic were pretty bad, including the one that did the final. I guess it is the luck of the draw as it seems like some people had good refs, while others did not.

Does rec soccer even matter?

Does any of it really matter? We had adult very good referees at all our rec games this weekend. Sorry the refs would rather officiate rec all stars then travel games that “matter”.

Yes....why would a rec tournament have so many adult referees but the travel tournaments struggle...hmmm....such a mystery.

Herndon All Stars has less trouble getting refs because they are in Herndon and there are sufficient numbers of refs in Fairfax to cover the games.

Hunt Country classic always struggles because they don’t have enough local refs to cover the games. They have to entice refs to drive out to Prince William and Fauquier Counties. Plus they use a Maryland based assignor who is notorious for not doing anything to develop referees.

Fairfax county has a glut of refs in most areas and it is easy to get to Herndon.
