With regards to refs, for young kids they are usually like HS kids reffing

It's not your job to tell them to be more aggressive during the game

Oh, I don't have kids. This is coming from a coach. Keep in mind that you probably don't know as much as you think

Can I add two more to your list? (1) Don't talk to coaches about other players on the team and (2) On higher level teams
