There are several ways to "protect" your kid. One way is to realize that the refs are not trying to cheat the kid. The other is to be the kind of coach that refs will listen to. Don't try to bring intensity to a ref.

1. Relax...Talk and explain what your problem is.

2. Don't get confrontational with the ref...you'll have problems the rest of the day if you do.

3. Realize that sometimes, you and the ref just saw it differently, and accept his call.

4. Approach the table...not the ref.

5. Could it also be that because you are emotionally attached to the match...you may see the call differently.

6. Let the little stuff slide, most refs do not make bad calls on purpose.

7. There are going to be Bad Calls...but there are also alot of Good calls.

8. We can not have wrestling without the Refs. Thanks Guys!
