Other part of issue with refs, they are creating “floppers”, I’ve already seen the change in last 3 weeks as teams adjusting to constant whistle on any contact.
It’s going to hurt these kids come summer tournaments.
That's why teams like M&D and Hero's do well during summer ( not that they don't do well all year) is because they preach physical play. And even if they get 80% of the whistles during NGLL games, they know when tournaments get physical during the summer, they are prepared..
But yes, it's frustrating the inconsistencies between NGLL and tournament play in regards to what levels of physical play are allowed.
Don't get me started on flopping and charges not being called
