Coaches Dealing with Parents

[jeremy341a]

I coached for 7 year and now I am in my first year of officiating. I have had a much more enjoyable time wearing the stripes. Like others have posted know when someone yells at me it is only for a few seconds and not every day and everytime I see them. I am having a great time being around the game I love and trying to improve my officiating with every game. I am happy I made the change. Of course this wasn't the only reason I made the change, I also did it in order to be at home much more.

This choice is very much yours as you can regulate your schedule as much as you would like by blocking dates or not responding to queries, emails, or phone calls. I wish you continued luck and success.

It is great as all my games are scheduled through the arbiter which works wonderful. Don't want to work certain nights, easy to block. This was not the case when coaching. Didn't want to work this night but it was my only chance to scout a certain opponent.
