Wow. Did my first game assigned to me by the SCSRA (previously i'd been reffing for AYSO or the Valley Ref Association), and it was at the home depot center (a big stadium with national team fields around it) a girls national 19 vs boys national 16 game, both of which are playing in the world cup in a few months. Not only were the players actually like adults in terms of skill and conduct, but the center referee was a league above anyone i'd reffed with in the VRA. I will definitely be reffing for them from now on.
The referee, duncan, was an interesting guy. Really vocal, really blunt. Spent a lot of time talking about his personal philosophy and his observations of my and Jonathan's (the other referee) personalities. And he was pretty good at it; he noticed Jonathan's (ie, a typical person's) lack of self-confidence, indecision, non-commital habits, and compared them to my focused attention and self-confidence. He was a killer ref, though, so i appreciated hearing him critique and just speak his mind on the situation (which he did to no end).
