What a joy to see the center referee was a woman. We've come a long way in soccer and the climb is on the way up. More women referees, coaches and players make for a great game.
Happy Labor Day and a wonderful Fall soccer season.

Chicago Red Stars
It was great to see a win last night against Philly by our CHICAGO RED STARS. They played so well and got to the ball with great speed and were so alive. It was great to be there and see women's soccer played so well. (WPS).

What about the whistle?
New referees have trouble blowing the whistle loud enough. The idea is to get the players to stop when you blow the whistle. If they're not stopping - it's not LOUD enough.
So practice outside and get the idea what a whistle sounds like. As you progress in refereeing the whistle will have different sounds for different offenses. For now just get it loud.
