I would submit that sometimes it's HARDER to officiate youth ball than varsity. Because if you officiate "normally", you'd NEVER get a play off. Literally never.

So it's ok, Dirk, to you for the official to not flag your delay of game, but it's not ok to you for him to ignore players running off the side of the field that are not involved in the play? Ridiculous, and hypocritical.

I do agree with some of your comments (they should get the downs right, they should know the fouls they are calling, etc), but the rest is nonsense.

PS - clipping - did he fall on your player after being tripped (sounds like, from your description, that he did)? That's not clipping. Clipping is BLOCKING below the waist, in the back. Sounds like a no-call to me too (even at higher levels).
