Comments on: Three Classes For Girls Soccer in 2009 http://sgfsoccer.com/2008/05/22/three-classes-for-girls-soccer-in-2009/ Southwest Missouri's Soccer Resource Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:08:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tim Noonan http://sgfsoccer.com/2008/05/22/three-classes-for-girls-soccer-in-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-150366 Tim Noonan Fri, 23 May 2008 17:14:01 +0000 http://sgfsoccer.com/?p=2940#comment-150366 Thanks, Coach, for a very thorough and enlightening article about the continued, explosive growth of HS soccer across the state and, especially, in SW MO. Unfortunately, we are not seeing growth in the referee pools. From West Plains and Rolla, to Nevada and Joplin, and all points in-between, the numbers of officials are not increasing. The crunch being experienced by local assignors is only becoming more critical with each passing season. When the playing careers of student / athletes end and when parents are no longer cheering on their children, we encourage all of them to join us on the pitch. For the future of the game, we need energetic, passionate adults to don the blacks and pick up a whistle.
