They may need an ambulance because they made an athletic play and hurt themselves, but not for getting beat up by a player on the opposite team. I got some more advice for you, but it's okay if you don't like it. You are supposed to watch "all" ten players at "all" times when the ball is live. Oh, and guess what, that's not in the rulebook either but it is true.

This looks great on paper, and it probably works when you're reffing 3rd and 4th grade, but there's no way it's 100% possible when working with any players over the age of 11. They're too fast, too athletic for you to be in complete control. I don't care what you say on this board, but I do want others to understand that your little diatribes don't have a lot to do with reality.
