[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Both kids just wound up and kicked him as hard as possible in ankle after getting beat.

Yeah, I'm totally sure that happened. Sigh.

This season (U10), there was definitely 1 team we played where not one, but almost all players played very aggressively and would also get even more riled up when frustrated. The ref did call fouls but considering how often they were doing it, I lm surprised he didn’t pull more yellow and red cards out.  That kind of play is intended to draw out fouls from the other team and for the most part, our team kept their cool prob bc the ref was calling the fouls but it can be tough and tense to watch.

We also played game where one defender kept getting outplayed by a striker. Both were very physical but play stayed with the ball so no calls were made. However, at one point, the defender thought the ref should have made a call and he just wrapped his arms around the striker’s neck and tried to pull him down.

There are definitely kids who play rough intentionally and are also hotheaded. The ones where the coach and his parents are telling him to calm down. Usually it’s just one or two players on a team but occasionally it is the entire team.[/quote]
