Christian took a Referee Certification Class during the winter. Based on his passing this class, he is able to be a soccer referee for both recreational and select teams. On Easter weekend, Christian had his first games to ref.

| As fun as he thinks it would be, I don't think he'll be actually giving a red card anytime soon (at least I hope not!) |
 |
| He wasn't thrilled with his parents taking his pictures on the side line, but we did anyway! |
 |
| Coach John was the center ref and he and Gage were the sidelines refs. During half time, Coach talks them and gives them tips! |
 |
| This coach talks to Christian and asks for some verification of the rules - this was his first year for the girls to play at this level so a few of the rules were changed. Good thing Christian could answer his questions. |

Christian refereed other games through the season but I didn't take my camera. I wish I would have - he was the center (& only ref) for some of the U8 games and he really liked those. But I've learned my lesson and I'll make sure I take my camera with me next season when it starts up again!

There is no doubt in my mind that Christian is a better referee than his Aunt Cassie was. He's so much ahead of me just based on the fact that he's actually played soccer BEFORE being a ref!! ha ha!!! I had one red card to issue and my hand was shaking like a leaf! Some stinkin' 8 yr. olds got in a fight with cussin' to boot and 2 hot dads screaming at me on the sidelines. He looks very professional and even has his socks up!
