Tonight I was reffing a game, and I was one of two refs. There is supposed to be three refs in the game I was doing, but my brother and I were the only ones who signed up for the game. We had to get a parent to be on the other sideline since we only had two refs. During the game, my brother was in the center and I was on a line. The parent ref kept calling for offside, but since he was not a licensed referee he couldn’t call anything but out of bounds. My brother had to call fouls and offside, so he had two responsibilities. My brother did the best he could, and at halftime, the parent ref complained about how the other team was offsides. We told him he can’t call offsides because he’s not certified, but he kept complaining about that. Then he also told us that there was nothing we can do, he was just mad at the league organization. This guy was really talking out of both sides of his mouth.

I really enjoyed this blog. I am very sorry that the parents did not understand the rule. I hope next time you can have three refs so you will not have to go through anything like this again.

I feel your pain on the reffing. I know how hard it can be to make quick decisions and be judged heavily, Keep reffing and by the time your older, you will not even remember this moment. You are a great ref and you have so much potential, good luck in your future.
