Re: Referees and Human Players

This thread brings up an interesting point. At the Northville District, I witnessed a student rack up close to 27 penalty points for stepping over the line everytime he tried to throw a ball on to the field, during an elimination match.

As P.J. detailed there was a ref standing right behind him signaling to another ref to input the penalties.

This poor kid had no idea he was doing anything wrong. I don't think he was aware of the line or any rules about stepping over it. I am not even sure he knows what happened now. I believe after that match his team (which I don't remember) was eliminated from the tournament.

At what point, should a referee step up to a student and let them know they causing fouls? I mean we have flags and hand signals to let the drivers know when they are committing fouls. Shouldn't someone let the human players know when they are committing fouls too?
