U-12 are my favorite games to ref, Blues. The kids are old enough to have some skill and make the games interesting, but not quite old enough (most of them, at least) to have an attitude. My old knees are keeping me in U8 for now, where I can walk the whole game! I did a girls U8 today, and there wasn't a single foul! Except for calling one keeper on each side for leaving the penalty area before throwing/punting the ball. But they won't do that again!

Aloha,
