There are a lot of complaints about HS soccer, but has anyone quit HS to focus on private training in the fall and getting ready for club soccer? If so, how has that worked out?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgree about the refs, but two man system is not due to the money; there aren’t enough refs.
So what is being done to address it by CIAC or CT Referee Association. Nothing from what I know of. Is it generally acceptable to have such an inferior product? The matches can be so adversely affected that the outcomes are not what they should be. Sometimes I think I would rather put the 2 coaches out on the field to reff the games.
To make it more difficult to have officials is the 3:45 pm start times. Makes it impossible for the part time reffs with day jobs to make games. If more schools had lights and did evening games you could get more reffs. These reffs are also generally younger and at least physically capable of doing the job. Same goes for weekend games.
The clubs are able to field reffs for their games. Those reffs generally do much better then the High School reffs. While there is cross over between the two, I see many reffs at high school games that do not reff club. These are generally the older pot bellied men. Maybe they reff town travel or recreation leagues. These guys are a joke for boys high school soccer where the coach pumps up the players who are already fueled with adrenaline and testosterone.

every one before or since has been a shlitshow
this isn't partisan, they are bad for both teams usually
there is just no consistency- its either a brawl or you cant even look at another player
offsides is a crap shoot, you cant be off an inch but you can be off 5 yds
