[quote=SoccerRef][quote=Anonymous]Many refs seem to be overweight elderly men. Why is this?[/quote] Gosh, found this thread late...so much to unpack, but I thought I'd start with this one. Just for reference, I've been reffing for about 20 years, from low level pro, to U8s, and everything in between. So, let me put this as delicately as possible....the reason your ref is overweight, or slow, or just plain bad? Well, it's because your game is unimportant in the general scheme of things, and that's the best ref the assignor could get. Higher level refs...the ones with advanced training and fitness tests, are doing higher level games. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of great refs doing lower level games too, but there are SO many games, and so few refs, that there are plenty of people reffing games that probably shouldn't be. There are also plenty of coaches that are terrible, plenty of players who should be in rec, and plenty of parents that can't accept this. [/quote]
