I manage my youngest son’s soccer team and my oldest plays on the high school team so I have seen many games. Being a ref for the younger kids (U11 and below) does not look bad but, as they get older the more intense the games get. My youngest plays for a U12 team and when it comes to tournaments it can get pretty heated at times. I amazes me at how some of the parents act.
I get just as excited as most at games but I have not come close to loosing my temper like I have seen some do. I have seen a couple that have almost come to blows. Parents need to learn that the way they act is teaching their kids to act just like them.
