Great point Ridge. No matter what level you ref, be aware of size mismatches on ball tie-ups. We have some strong players on our team who have found themselves tied up by far smaller players. When the ref is slow with the whistle, the smaller player goes flying (when they hold tightly to the ball). For some reason, our small players seem to be able to hold their own!? I have felt that most times the player went flying because the whistle was delayed too much.
