Wear earmuffs to block out the coaches and parents

You're gonna hear a whole lot of nonsense from those who aren't trained. Keep a notebook of the funny things you hear. Keep the HS rule book in your bathroom, choose a topic, and read it when you get a minute. There are 3 first impressions: when you get to the field, the first whistle, and the first foul. Spend no more than 15 minutes thinking about the last game, and move on.

I volunteered reffed for our JV game vs Brother Martin last Saturday and I heard from the side line "If that were a real ref it wouldn't have been a goal" I went home and cried and wrote a long apology letter to Brother Martin and their parents for not giving their kids the best of the best during a meaningless scrimmage. I'm an awful person, I know. I should have been a real ref.

Not a ref but this is my advice.
Either ignore what most of the parents and coaches say or come up with some sarcastic comments depending on your personality. If you react to every come on ref- you are gonna be miserable. And it seems like these refs get even more dissent.
Hope you enjoy being a ref.
