Coaches and
parents should not confront the referee. If you have a problem with a referee,
fill out the referee evaluation form that is available on line.
Coaches are
responsible for their sidelines and parents/players confronting the referee.
Use fields that are
assigned to you for games and practices.

goalies. 3rd player cant camp infront of
the goal.
If one of the

the other team. It is about developing players.
