Ben Glass will donate $500 to each team to use as they see fit (up to $1,000 per school) if that team completes the season without receiving a red or yellow card due to unsportsmanlike conduct.
Ben Glass has been a soccer referee in Northern Virginia since 1974. Over the last decade, he has witnessed a steady decline in sportsmanship and respect for opponents and sports officials. Mr. Glass has said, “this decline of sportsmanship has created a referee shortage that threatens the future of the game.” He hopes to change this outcome by deterring unsportsmanlike behavior from players, coaches, and parents.
