I feel that there should be an evaluation form for both ref's and coaches. I also feel that it should be harder for an official to become a high school official. Maybe require USSF certification? As a parent, I see a lot of ref's hold grudges against players and coaches. As a ref, I see a lot of coaches and players hold grudges against ref's. The mighty double edge sword. I do agree that we do need to hold ref's to a certain standard. We must also hold the players and coaches to this same standard. (Just think- soccer used to be a "gentelman's" sport, played with one ref in a chair just like tennis. Where have those days gone? ha ha)
On-line evalution forms to be filled out by both the winning and the losing coach and not just the home team would be great. Then have a form for the ref and both AR's to fill out on the coaches and players.
