What You Sound Like From The Sidelines

This is what we referees hear you say from the sidelines. When we hear parents say any of the following we say to ourselves “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

  • You Can’t Play the Ball While On the Ground
  • A player taking a free kick must ask for 10 yards before the opponent must move 10 yard
  • It’s when the ball is played
  • The Whole Ball
  • You Have to Stop the Game When a Player is Hurt

When you yell at a referee, you teach a child that, "In our family, we don't respect authority."
