Apparently 14 year olds and younger shouldn't ref games
A shortage of referees in youth sports is causing concern in the Capital Region, with one community facing fines for employing young referees. The New York State Department of Labor fined local sports teams $5,000 and ordered them to stop hiring referees under 14. Parents and coaches are puzzled by the decision, as they believe refereeing is a safe job for young individuals to earn extra money. The town supervisor is urging the DOL to make an exemption for young referees to ensure games can continue as usual. Despite the ongoing investigation, the community is hopeful for a common-sense solution to the issue.
