My son plays in an 8 year old league... and the refs call EVERYTHING... it's good, but was surprising in the first game. Some of the kids have done this for 2 seasons, a few were new. It was amazing to sit through the first 2 games as I believe the scores were 10-8 and 8-6 with about 337 whistles blown for various things. The kids were so confused, but the thing I liked was the refs took time with each whistle to quickly explain what happened.
Yesterday was game #6 and while there are still a lot of whistles, the games run smooth and the kids are a hell of a lot smarter now about how to play.
