I was working a youth game a few days ago. When I arrived, I noticed there were no pads on the goal posts. So I asked the admin., he told me they couldn't find the things anywhere. So I told him we couldn't start until they were padded with something.
While the admin. was putting some floor mats around the posts, another official was telling me that he worked a varsity game out here a week before, and they didn't even worry about the things not being padded. HUH?! I swear, some people have a sign on their back that says "sue me."
Just make sure you pay attention to these things before you start a game
