HS Girls soccer

Is it just our HS or does every HS treat the girls teams as 2nd class students, despite the fact that they are one of the most successful sports programs at the school.

Referees

As I sit on the side watching games I hear parents and coaches yelling at the referee, "oh come on" "what game are you watching", ""let them play, "are you going to call anything", and the dreaded "thank you". We are fortunate in this area that we have several very good young referees, but we will lose them if coaches and parents continue to verbally abuse them. I have seen U-10 coaches scream at a young referee that they missed a call, and have seen good referees decide that the pay was not worth the abuse.
