I Ref in two local Rec Leagues and am the only state certified official in either league. We're talking 60-70 Teenagers and maybe 15 adults. Their training is not so much......

Calling an intentional foul for them may be like calling a charge or player control foul, or a travel on a spin move - they just don't have the experience, confidence, and knowledge. They need to be educated and ref more games before they start calling these.

Sometimes we're lucky just to get some of them to blow the whistle at all.......
