Little People on Ice

The place that I ref indoor soccer provides me with entertainment in another fashion as well. It is coupled next to an ice arena. When I show up early, I often go to see what is going on in the ice arena.

My two favorites. 5 year olds playing hockey. Everyone falls. The person with the puck, misses the puck with the stick at some point and when they turn to regain control of the puck, they fall. It is entertaining because it happens to them all.

That was the second favorite. The first favorite, group figure skating (like danceline) with 6 year old girls. The spins make them fall. The high kicks make them fall, and better yet, they don't think to let go of the hand of the person next to them. When one person falls in the line, the wave starts from that point and they all end up on the ice. It's interesting to watch a line of 20 girls all fall at the same time because someone else somewhere did, and they don't think to let go of the hand of the person next to them that is falling.

These are more of my adventures in the soccer referee stage of my life. Hoping for many more.
