Can you expand on this? In this context, what is "abuse"? A parent yelling...Hey Ref you are horrible? You should quit! Know the rules! Get out of the center circle! Get some glasses! Hey ref you're missing a good game out there!  Is this abuse that should be reported to the assignor? [/quote]

All abuse-- there is no reason ever for a parent or coach to shout at a ref.  Especially if the the ref is a teenager[/quote]

We all understand that a parent or coach shouldn't yell at a teenage ref. There is noone will disagree with you. And we will all agree that this is abuse. I asked if they were examples of abuse that should be reported.[/quote]

[b]I would report them, especially if it is a coach.[/b]    [/quote]

lol what? You think you should report a yelling coach to SafeSport? How about… refs just ignore most of the normal yelling that always happens. (I’ve been a ref and here’s the dirty little secret… it’s super easy to ignore most coaches and parents and most yelling. Most of the refs you see making a big deal out of yelling are actively focusing on the comments so they can make a big deal out of it and flex a little.) And if a coach or parent goes too far, you yellow card the coach. Then if it doesn’t stop it… you red card the coach. It’s not complicated. And if you aren’t willing to do that, then don’t ref.
