1. Get coaches who can control their players.
2. Realize it's youth AAU.
3. Remember that officials at this level are learning all about advantage disadvantage. During that process, contact gets no-called that should probably be called a foul. It happens to all of us as we progress.
4. I will never get between players about to throw a punch. Ever. Once it's at that point, all you can do is stand back, blow your whistle like hell, and take numbers.
