Hi Jason and everyone,
We have really enjoyed having the staff/refs as coaches. They have all been very motivating for the players and kind making sure their needs were met. Our coach last week was an even better referee when the one we had didn't seem motivated to work the game. I am not opposed to having high school players as coaches in the future- willing to pay a little more for motivated young people to teach players.
Football on the other hand is still messy. Many referees are not consistent. Counting for QBs changes and many coaches quickly start plays not giving refs enough time to write down things to remember or see the entire play through. I know there is a time frame as well for completing plays, but many coaches just take advantage and start plays maliciously. It's been hard to watch the teams be very physical with each other with no consequences or addressing it with coaches or players. I have really enjoyed the coach we have this year. The times have also been better and not too far behind each week.
I think it would be beneficial to have ice packs available every week, even in the winter, for players who get injured. We've had many players in soccer needing one, but they are not available.
Thank you!
