A study done recently in Australia found that 85% of referees quit after the first year. Their reasons were (from most common to least):
* Too hard to progress * Pay too low * Tired of abusive players/coaches * Would rather play * Family/wok/school committments * Lack of education/support The report also showed that the top reasons for "veteran" officials stopping refereeing were: * Family/work committments * Fitness/Poor Health/Age/Injury * Tired of abusive players/coaches * Inability to progress Personally I think that places like this forum should help address the education/support problem as well as helping o form more of a community.
