U8 Coaches:
Another reminder, and this is also documented in the U8 Parent Guide and the U8 Top 10 FAQ.
The referees are typically kids and are part of the learning process. Do not "make calls" for them. Please be patient and give them your respect. Always encourage them to be loud and vocal (as they are often timid).
I don't want to hear any stories of referees going home crying. Be as tactful, supportive and positive as possible. Keep in mind that some of these kids are as young as 10 years old. It's very intimidating for them.
