Our first weekend of Spring soccer and we ALREADY have a report of misconduct directed toward a referee. Three adult coaches berating a referee (14 years old and doing his FIRST game) on a U9 match!! Seriously? This unacceptable behavior is why we are short referees.

Make sure to report any misconduct towards referees you may witness to Nebraska Referee Development Program at the email below!

The Gray Wolf, once native to Nebraska and now an endangered species, serves as a powerful symbol for our soccer team. Just as these magnificent creatures embody unity, strength, and instinct in the wild, we find these qualities resonate deeply within our women’s soccer team.

These singular instances of bad behavior often lead to our community losing a referee (if not multiple). Don’t be the reason a referee leaves the game. Cheer for your players, Tell everyone good game and be the reason a referee tries again next week. #supportourrefs
