[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youth soccer needs refs who are willing to pull a yellow or red card whenever necessary. Some teams know refs will not pull yellow and red cards and abuse the system. In my opinion not enough yellows or reds are called in the youth games I've seen. Games would still be physical but a lot of the malice would dissipate over time.  I speak only for U11 and below. [/quote]

Two weeks in a row this season, my son has been purposely clipped from behind. Both kids just wound up and kicked him as hard as possible in ankle after getting beat. This is happening at the top level of U10 in this area. In the first instance, kid got a yellow card. In second instance, nothing. That kid eventually got a warning in the second half after he took out two other kids in the game (one of dirtiest individual players come across).

In both of these instances if these were pros, both would have been red carded and sent off. This crap should not be tolerated. And you wonder why some parents end up losing it on the sidelines with refs.

Refs should be carding with more frequency at U9 and U10. A lot of stuff is being taught to these kids by either coaches or parents. Kids should be mastering foot skills at this age and comfort on the ball; instead they're being taught how to pull jerseys and kick kids from behind. Just bush league.
