Oh no the kids are on vacation for a week, now they need more time to rest before the scheduled games the following week.

Obviously you have no clue about sports performance and the impact on the body.

Really, did they have a week off from spring break.

So after most being off for a full week (yes some do continue working), you get them back and on the 1st two days you throw them into games? OK

Genuine question: the clowns running VHSL, are they in these positions purely out of nepotism? Do they know what they’re doing? Just following the same old American hs script for each season without truly trying to improve?

Why do they make stupid rules like double OT after a tie in regulation time? Why are they SOOOO pressed about the color undergarments and the shin guards but keep allowing incompetent referees ruining games and compromising the Children’s physical safety with their abhorrent officiating?

Because no one wants to ref these games.

This isn't PRO, where they have tons of refs available and every ref's performance is scrutinized in detail to determine what assignments (if any) they get in the future.

Think of this every time you have a youth game with a teenager or young adult reffing, and some idiot coach or parent is yelling at the kid about a throw-in, as if it's USA-Panama and someone just punched Christian Pulisic in the back of the head in front of the ref and the ref let it go.

Think that kid is going to stick around? Think he's going to stay in the game long enough to ref high school games with much more hostile crowds when he's an adult?

I took up reffing in my mid-40s. My approach is very much "safety first." I don't put up with tough fouls. I use my cards. (The disclaimer with that: What often looks like a brutal foul from the stands looks more like two people colliding to a neutral party watching it happen in front of him.)

There's no way in hell I'm doing a high school game.

You get the talent pool you deserve.

Why do they allow specific schools to bypass the laws and have varsity play before jv so they can have an edge over competitors with MLS players?

I give up, why?
