Hurst, agree but let's not stop there. How about on going training, especially on the pitch, not all classroom. How more and consistent assessments? I quit reffing after having double hip replacement and couldn't keep up with varsity boys any longer, thus, couldn't earn my pay or do the game justice. How many refs do you feel would fail a basic physical test? Why aren't physical tests given at every level, especially HS? Hopefully the parents and coaches don't ruin that new crop of refs you have started and hopefully a support development system can be put in place.
