This
could
be
a
fantastic
venue
for
youth
soccer
if
only
the
staff
referees
would
call
games
consistently,
and
with
safety
in
mind.
As
the
coach
of
a
youth
team,
I
have
observed
too
many
instances
of
rugby-like
scrums
and
hockey-style
boarding
of
players
that
goes
uncalled.
Several
times,
this
has
resulted
in
injuries
for
players
on
both
sides
of
the
field.
The
prevailing
concern,
based
on
conversations
with
staff
referees,
is
keeping
the
games
on
schedule.
Our
SAC
team
will
no
longer
play
in
leagues
at
this
facility
for
this
and
a
demonstrated
bias
against
SAC
teams
during
two
winter
sessions
by
multiple
referees.
UPDATE
March
8,
2023:
I
learned,
through
the
grapevine,
versus
a
call
from
the
facility
manager,
that
I
am
banned
for
the
rest
of
the
Winter
2
session.
If
this
is
the
cost
of
advocating
for
the
safety
of
our
players,
it
is
well
worth
it.
To
that
point.
Pay
attention
to
the
'response
from
the
owner'
and
note
not
once
is
safety
addressed,
or
the
unusual
number
of
injuries
that
occurred
in
the
previous
game.
What
was
addressed?
The
SAC
partnership,
how
unfair
life
is
as
a
referee
(I
was
one,
it
comes
with
the
job),
but
nothing
about
protecting
the
players.
We
count
on
referees
to
call
fair
and
balanced
games,
but
to
also
take
charge
of
the
games
and
protect
the
players
on
both
sides.
This
Eddy,
is
where
Sofive
Columbia
has
consistently
failed
our
player
for
two
seasons.
More
injuries
in
a
game,
on
multiple
occasions,
than
seen
in
a
season.
Do
better.
