I concur. I think the officiating at the club level is struggling because of the dramatic increase in club games over the last few years. On top of that it seems that many youth officials are just killing time til halftime or the end of the game so they can check their text messages or snap chats.

At the same time you have coaches that are coaching U13 open and classic leagues treating it like it's the world cup and those are the ages/divisions where young officials are learning on the job.

It's a complicated issue - poor officiating - in both club and SCHSL.
