I did a 5th grade game this weekend. Select teams. My partner and called close to thirty travels. Didn't slow the game down because it was running clock. In another 5th grade game, coach thought we called to many travels. In my opinion and same for some coaches, call everything. Only way they learn. I ease up on the whistle for fouls though.

Why ease up on whistles for fouls??

That makes sense
Thanks. All I could come up with was "Call Your Own" ... and then couldn't figure out why someone was officiating these?

BTW, my priest is going to get a kick out of this when I tell him.

Yeah, the nearest comparison I can think of in DM would be summer league AAU, or maybe the annual middle school tournament down in Indianola.

Make your pages 40 posts a page like all the cool kids are doing.

CYO Versus Catholic School ...

Here in Connecticut, CYO means Catholic Youth Organization, and these are games played by kids who attend public schools, and they play for their parish church team.

Not to be confused with Catholic school games, which are games played by kids who attend a Catholic school, and play for that Catholic school team.
