Wanted: Full-Time Referee
Immediate opening for an experienced, assertive referee. Requires basic knowledge of the rules of play including sharing, "using your words", turn-taking, and "using your inside voice". Must be able to lift 50 lbs for the occasional removal of child from incoming tackle. Careful discernment needed to know what play and yelling is all in good fun...what tackles and chases are actually wanted...versus those that are tormenting the other (there tends to be a fine line). Finger whistle is helpful and an ability to deal with the players with a firm voice as needed. Ideal candidate will also have the ability to pour on the sympathy & cuddles, and to rationalize with the irrational child. Wages negotiable as your skills are priceless and most sought after as the current referee is exhausted after the long holiday weekend.

Grand-Pa Nick could be a eventual candidate if he had more energy.
Lucky you they only weigh 50 pounds so far.....You can send them to us this summer on the farm.
They will have fun running after the chicken or the goat.
I'm pretty good at the extremes, but not the gray area. I sure would be willing to try!
