Sometimes they don't see who is a good practice player and a good game day player. Here's a hint though, if they aren't fluid with foot skills in practice, can't hit a ball with pace and accuracy or is not fast in practice; highly likely not a game day player. But, sometimes they are on the field anyway. Players don't pick the players or the line up.
And for goodness sake, remind the kids they are not refs. I can't tell you how many I see them put up their hands to get the refs attention, only to have the opponent dribble around them because they stopped playing or were only partially playing at that point because you can't run or turn with your hands in the air. Players play, refs ref. It's that simple.
Sorry, I saw a lot of it this weekend. Bad, bad habit.
