Nineteen Games in Six Days

I have just finished refereeing my 19th game in the last six days. The Friday after Thanksgiving, our AYSO region (214) hosts the Arroyo Seco Cup Tournament. I helped coordinate the referees for the tournament, and also refereed 11 games over the course of two days. After taking a well deserved sabbath, I have refereed two games each night this week so far.

All have been very exciting games, and I love watching the kids play hard, and the parents cheering hard. I enjoy being a referee. Even my son enjoys it, and reports are that he is very good. He's the handsome one in the picture above.
