Pitchers not pausing with hands seperated.

This year I warned a couple of high school coaches that their players were barely not violating that rule. Neither believed me, that it could possibly be a violation. But they did believe my 6'4" partner.

You should have grown more than 5'5"........d;-)

I hate that women officials don't get more respect........

My oldest daughter refereed kids soccer when she was about thirteen......had to get certified (I went through the classes too and they were not easy)........and I still officiate some of our charity events.......

Parents were harsh.......she did it for a year.......she would have made a good official.........but was not mature enough to handle some of the situations at that age......

Another area that parents ruin.......
