Parents from certain teams

Why do people yell at any kid? You shouldn't yell at any kid (unless you are the coach, and even then it should be limited). If you (whoever the "you" may be) can't attend a soccer match without yelling at kids, perhaps it is time to stay home.

You will be seeing some empty games.

I did 16 games in total this weekend. I saw a 15 year old kid do 7 games in 1 day. He was originally assigned 6 and picked up 1 more from a person who said they couldn't do their 5th game in a row. Kind of insane. Not going to lie though, on Sunday when I was assigned 6 games, I was struggling on the last game AR. The 5th game I was able to get by on adrenaline because it was a close, good, game. But the 6th game was brutal.

Since I had finals on Monday, I iced my legs. Then I took a shower alternating between hot and cold and finished the shower with an Epson salt bath. Then I popped 1 Ibuprofen and threw on compression socks to wear to bed and elevated my legs on 3 pillows. Monday morning, I felt better. And then after warming up and stretching, I refereed the crap out of the finals.

I usually stand between the goal and corner flag to take photos. I back up a few steps back if the action is coming closer to me.

I was told once by our coach that supposedly no one should be standing behind the goal lines. But I keep my mouth shut and don't cheer at all while standing there, and no refs have ever asked me to leave. The key is don't draw attention to yourself.

Same here. My daughter was playing at the Surf Cup this weekend and I’m the team’s unofficial photographer. I move around a lot and I do take pictures for behind the opponent’s goal area, but well off the line. Usually in a break in action, I’ll ask the AR if I’m good and they always give me a thumbs up or a nod. I never cheer and shout instructions so that helps out.

Now, as a referee, I usually clear kids playing behind the goals cause they do cause a distraction with the running and yelling, and one of them can get hurt. If someone is filming or taking pictures, as long as they are not close to the end line and don’t cause a distraction, I’m good with it.

I refereed 15 games at youngers Surf Cup this past weekend and had no issues with the spectators or coaches. Every one was very well behaved.

The 4 games my daughter played, the referees were very good. The second or third game, the AR did flagged offside on us on a throw in which was pretty funny. The CR immediately waved him down, so he was on it.
 
I saw a parent get ejected , he was volume 11 from the start, and once the score played a factor , he got progressively worst, and that energy just went thru the crowd till eventually he was asked to leave, once he did the sidelines calmed down. When its a even score the lines seem ok, but once theres a 2 goal difference , thats when the worst in people comes out. All you ref's out there how offend is it demanded of you to add time ? Personally I try to be nice to the ref that way he doesnt hate me or my team(s).....

Typically no time will be added in a tournament pool game. There’s just no time to add and it is stated in the tournament rules. In a tournament that leaves enough time between semis or finals then we can add time as merited. League games it all depends on the circuit and whether or not there’s time enough between games to add
 
Watching our girls on Monday's SC game and getting mugged every time they had the ball was quite unbearable. Despite this our girls were able to put the ball in the net. With in a short time the opposition took a wide shot on our net. Our keeper began to retrieve the ball. A random player walking by tossed the ball back to our keeper. Then a parent who was also part of the oppositions coaching staff began to bark belligerently at the ref that it was illegal for someone to hand our keeper the ball. Ref warned him of his conduct. He did not stop. Ref then tossed him from the game. This individual then just walked over to his sideline. Once again Ref warned him to leave the field or the game was forfeit then and there.

Hopefully the referee fills out the appropriate paperwork identifying the person the club and the team and the head coach. Chances are that team coach and possibly club has a very hard time getting back into surf cup.
It starts with the head coach. If he/she allows behavior like that within the team ranks, it spills over to all parents and players.

It did cross over to their sidelines. They directed all their attention to the ref at that time and after the game. One of the other coaches on the bench was also warned a few minutes later. Not sure anything will be done as this was a Surf affiliate from a small Pacific island.

Ditto...It was more like rugby
