PREP SOCCER: Progress made in official's strike
By NCT | ∞
The organization that represents San Diego Section schools in dealing with athletic officials met on Thursday to discuss the ongoing stalemate with soccer officials that has put that sport's season in jeopardy.
The High School Sports Officiating Coalition talked about ways the season might be salvaged in their most recent meeting. According to an email sent out by HSSOC president Bill Stout, decisions were made and subsequently shared with the Southern California Soccer Officials Association of San Diego and section commissioner Dennis Ackerman, parties that met separately on Thursday to discuss a possible end to the stalemate. That post-meeting discussion proved fruitful, as the sides agreed to talk again on Friday in hopes of finding a solution.
"In the follow-up conversation with the CIF and the soccer officials association, another potential resolution was raised that left open the prospect of an uninterrupted start to the soccer season," Stout's email read. "The HSSOC, the SCSOASD and the CIF will be in contact again tomorrow and hope to have a statement soon."
That's the first sign of hope since the sides met a few weeks ago, offering the possibility that the season could in fact be saved.

referee and umpire wrote on Nov 20, 2008 5:27 AM:The referees and umpires of the professional world are paid huge money.
The one's on the High School circuit and rec ball circuit are under paid with todays economy.
The refs and umps that work these games have full time jobs.
Some of them do this on top of their jobs to make ends meet.
The price of gas is starting to come back down, but it is still expensive.
The wear and tear on the vehicles add up.
There are the times that we take off work early to get to the fields and do not get paid for that.
There are the times that we drive 200-300 miles roundtrip for the weekend, that we do not get paid for.
There are the local games during the week where the mileage will add up to an extra 250 miles that we do not get paid for.
The ref's and umps need the extra pay.
Without us, who would do the games on a regular basis?
Not the parents, or coaches, or even the athletic directors, that's for sure.
If it is so easy, than all of you parents and coaches and athletic directors can do it yourself.
