@stuholden In Ontario it will be bought in at 9v9 so around U12. First time they do it the referee will stop play, warn the goalkeeper and restart with. A drop ball. Next time it will be a corner.

Ridiculous to bring it any younger as the players need time to make decisions or they go long

@THPFC Fantastic! All the best to Kanika in this role

Day 1 of 2 - fantastic event with our Elite Development Group. Games in the morning, then education related to communication, positioning and building a positive culture. Thanks to Yusri Rudolf, Chantal Boudreau and Jon Modino for their support! @CanadaSoccerEN @OntarioIsSoccer

Talented young group of match officials taking the new @CanadaSoccerEN Entry Level course. Thanks to @Oakville_Soccer for hosting. Exciting year ahead for refereeing! @OntarioIsSoccer

@NickyPearson65 Great seeing you Nicky!

@ggambleofficial @mikeboardgamer @AirCanada Yeah 6 hours barely even counts as a delay with Air Canada...just a minor inconvenience.

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@mikeboardgamer @ggambleofficial @AirCanada Some positivity would be nice pal!

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@mikeboardgamer @ggambleofficial @AirCanada Well we already say on the runway for two hours...then got off. So hoping this time its for real

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@mikeboardgamer @ggambleofficial @AirCanada Boarding my flight to Calgary. Only a 6 hour delay...but I'm grateful for the $10 travel voucher...

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@SoccerNS Great guy and an excellent official with a big future ahead.

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@emsareferee Would it be possible to add officials names? Would love to know who everyone is as they start / grow their refereeing journey!

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@emsareferee @tonycam2066 @NickyPearson65 @mcc_ref @tlcam15 Wow, Oliva has a beautiful house. I didn't realize coaching referees paid so well! Fantastic initiative 👏

@SouthwestRef FYI, I don't believe the URL is working.

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@kyladiperna @1BCSoccer @League1BC Congratulations Kyla! I used to love doing Whitecaps games at Swangard..beautiful stadium and view. You don't get stadiums like that in Ontario!

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@npagliaro1 @HDSASoccer Based on this evening, it still feels like winter.its just great to be back out on the field, regardless of the level!

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@KULA09Kulis Haha likewise big man. I had to get the guys back to the hotel or I would have said hello. Hope you are keeping well. All the best

@ChristinaUnkel After what happened at Hillsborough in 1989, fences will never go up at grounds in Britain. Maybe some form of netting like you see at baseball / hockey. It's a small minority and they should be banned for life + a prison sentence

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@kyladiperna @1BCSoccer I recognize Branco and Marco. Top people on and off the field. Marco was the AR on my first ever professional game in 2010! Say hello from me

[davidb1980 @davidb19801]

@ChristinaUnkel No kidding. I advise (plead) with the keeper not to boot it down the field. At least give me a chance!
