[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son referees (rec games), and he has found it to be a more plesant experience than expected. He's confident in his calls (has played travel soccer since U9), and just ignores parents that make comments. However, the pay is not such that it would be an attractive option for an adult. For a teen, though, it is a good way to pick up extra money. [/quote] While pay isn’t a complete non-issue, my impression from talking to adults I know who are refs is that it tends to be people who love the game and see reffing as a way to stay close to it once they and/or their kids aren’t playing anymore. So when people decide to stop reffing, it seems like that probably has more to do with something that has taken away the joy of it for them than just about the pay. Whether that’s abusive parents, or scheduling that means they spend a lot of time traveling for only a single game, or whatever else might factor in.[/quote]
