Actually, soccer officiating requires better conditioning that just about any of the other sports & probably even more snap decision making. ( illegal contact, offside, etc. with 22 players on the field)

Most soccer officials run an average of 4.7 miles on the pitch during a game. The halves are also 45 minutes with no time outs.

Reffing soccer keeps me in shape for doing basketball. Or, is it the other way around??
