While I don't usually stretch on the floor more than a little. I would like to pose the question:
Why would it be considered unprofessional to stretch?
This is atheletics. We will be running along with the teams. I'm not so sure that being seen stretching will in anyway be viewed as unprofessional by anyone other than another ref who has been taught so.
Could stretching even be seen as being more professional? You would appear to be getting ready for the game and taking the game seriously as opposed to appearing that you don't plan on exerting yourself...perhaps loafing.
Would it really be a negative to stretch?
I'm not suggesting lying on the floor and doing stretches of that nature but more like the calf/hamstring stretches (by leaning/pushing foward on a wall/table/chair) or back/stomach stretching by leaning around.
