Referees wanted
Six games at the weekend? The “whistle” is missing here
The situation in Styrian youth soccer is getting worse. More and more games have to take place without referees, with amateur referees, coaches or even parents blowing the whistle. The "Krone" spoke to youth managers from Styria about the current situation and asked the association how precarious the situation really is.
It has taken six rounds this season in Köflach. Not until the first win or the top of the table - but until the youth teams from U10 to U15 were refereed by an association referee for the first time! "Ten years ago, I was a youth manager for the first time, and even then the situation was bad. Today, however, you can really call filling a position in the area a coincidence," says Robert Winterleitner, who supports the search for referees as a youth official in Köflach. Together with Mooskirchen, both clubs repeatedly hire amateur referees from regular leagues. Anything is better than having your own coaches or parents blow the whistle - even if this cannot always be avoided.
