Your refs did a great job with the U10 girls game on 911/06 at 12.45 at
Noddin school. However, I messed up and forgot to get my team players'
passes from the referee. How do I get these back? I don't know the
name of the referee. Thanks for any help you can provide. Brett
Johnson,
coach of Zebras U10 girls. brett@...

I just wanted to give your refs at Sat., 9/9, 11 a.m., Union GU12 a
standing ovation. They were fabulous. We had an issue with a
handball in the goalie box. The ref made the call, explained the call
to the coaches and then proceeded to explain it to the girls. He
assisted both teams in setting up for the PK and then the game
continued. I was incredibly impressed.

In the past, my kids have been on teams where the coaches and parents
have become refs and sideline judges. I feel this takes away from the
kids' (and coach's) experience. In addition, ref-ing was not the
coach's primary job. Though we are one game into the season, I wanted
to let you know how thrilled I was with how the game played out (pun
intended).
For the record, I voiced my appreciation to the refs at half-time and
after the game as well.

Thanks for a job well done for both GU11 Wild games. We were very
pleased with the officiating!

We had a fabulous center ref on Saturday. One of the best I've seen,
even through several seasons of comp.
This was for the Rec GU12 11:00 game at Union.
Unfortunately, there was only 1 line ref so the home Asst coach had
to cover.

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know my husband (a previous soccer player) was
very impressed with our referee on Saturday. He did the girls U14
game at Fisher at 10:45. He felt he has been one of the best we've
had the past 7+ years.
Thanks,
Mustang Mother

I just wanted to let you know that I think Sean, who ref'd 5 games
Saturday at Union is awesome! He made good calls, he did not overcall
and he spent the time teaching the kids about the rules. I was very
impressed and told him so.
Sean said he is willing to work with refs like Steven to teach them
how to AR and build their confidence. I will do my best to see that
that happens for S.
Sean did a great job and did so at the later games as well as the
earlier ones.
