[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain to me the benefit of having thirteen year old kids referee soccer games? If your theory is that there wouldn’t be enough refs without the kids doing it then fine there wouldn’t be enough refs and some parents would fill in or leagues/organizers would have to pay more to get adults to do it. It just seems to me like it is a bit much to ask teams and families to play along with the idea that it is ok for a kid to referee other kids like this. [/quote]

I agree.  13 is a bit young. Start at 15.[/quote]

Well, they are hiring thirteen yr olds. So let’s see you step up and either start reffing games or pay more to pay adult refs.

Or is that a bit much to ask?

Well, I actually reffed 180 games this calendar year... and counting. And if they want to pay me more...I'll take it. [/quote]
Sorry, actually its 140 games.[/quote]

So you are familiar with the ref shortage and the reason the leagues are hiring younger refs. How many other parents are starting to ref so that there are enough to cover all the games?

So there is still a shortage, should we lower it to 11 years old? They can do U9/U10 rec games.[/quote]
