Imagine a weekend where no grassroots referees face abuse—it’s really that simple. If you ever feel yourself getting frustrated at an U10 match and tempted to yell at the ref, take a step back and remember: it’s just an U10 match, and the referee is likely a 14-year-old kid.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone! ⚽️
