[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think refs should be very slow to show a red at the youth level. Send off a player who is clearly endangering the safety of other players or fighting, but I’ve seen some games recently where a red card is given for something like cursing and it seems to really send a game down a bad path, e.g. fights, more reds, etc.[/quote]

Refs do not show nearly enough red cards in youth soccer.  If the foul warrants a red card in the adult game, why should a different rule, which encourages rough play, apply in youth soccer?  Most red cards I have seen in youth soccer are shown to players that talk to the refs.   I have see some really nasty fouls left unpunished at youth games, because refs are afraid the parents' reaction.  [/quote]

Totally agree would love to see more cards given a younger levels . It teaches kids to stick by the rules.[/quote]

It teaches the kids to not get caught and to goad the other team into doing something stupid. DD loves trying to draw fouls and whispers some pretty awful stuff to defenders during corners or when she's trying to get in the wall for set pieces. Reactions and flopping have gotten her a bunch of PKs, it would be so much worse if the refs called more [/quote]

Refs can also give cards for flopping. [/quote]
