Devils Advocate, I ref'd soccer at 16 and got screamed at by coaches who thought they could take advantage of me. It was a bit much. I don't think it was of benefit to me, personally.

It was kind of harrowing, one day, to take 90 minutes of abuse from an idiot adult assistant coach who knew nothing. As a youth, you are not exactly up to the task of returning fire at adults. You are actually trained not to.
