[@robto]

@vanajan sivalingam yup, it has 👍

[@DeadTactics]

I'm so damn nervous my first game and I'm lead referee

[@rchrdbenge]

I know I'm probably a few days late, but make sure you have a firm, loud whistle. That's the number one thing new referees have trouble with. Good luck!

[@vika0194]

+Richard Benge important things in being a ref: 1:stabile and strong whistles with variations. 2: confidence 3:posture 4: a smile and respect to all kinds of angry players, and being able to get angry.

I love this channel I played soccer for 24 years now I am a assistant coach for a woman's college soccer team In Philadelphia

[@cheeseandcrackers7335]

I am taking an officiating class in school. This was very helpful

[@eddyvideostar]

This is an excellent narration regarding correct signaling. Well done. If one is a novice, a way for improvement is to watch as much football as possible: on television, KZbin, or live in person, no matter what type of skill, age, or gender: binge watch. Not for the entertainment value, but for the aspect of referee education. Discern what decision he would make under these situations. Maybe, if he is in doubt, shy or a novice, he could prepare and practice appropriate wordings to communicate certain things to the players. Don't be afraid of the mirror: practice proper posture, poise and authoritative countenances, facial expressions. Invest in an efficient whistle in order to preserve wind, while making this audible to all. It may be a dirty game and you may have to be whistling like a Trojan!

[@superduper6763]

I'm pretty nervous for my first reffing game. I know all the rules, but I'm all alone and afraid I'll mess up. Also, it's U8, which you may think is good but what rules do I keep and what do I not?

[@Phoenix-fq1hd]

Super DUPER They might play quarters instead of halves. Other than that it should be easy going, the hardest part is that most of them don't know how to play at that age.

[@jtprosser4013]

Dude! Im having the same problem. Im really nervous its rec league but im still concerned cause ill be the only ref. And i dont know if i should call advantage, and ect.

[@oliviagrove2735]

@@jtprosser4013 same here! any advice?

[@tonicox4005]

Don’t sweat it. If a team has advantage, let them keep it unless all the kids stop and then award the kick. Most clubs don’t have offsides for that age. You’ll have to consult with the rules of your club with how to address goal kicks and penalty kicks. For example, some clubs make the opposing team all go back to the midline for the goal kick. Some clubs don’t have pks and the ball is just a direct kick outside of the box. Often if there are goalies they can’t punt it past midline. Most rules for Rec are the same as for professional.

[@matteocarlini27]

8, 10’s and 12, play Quarters. Also in 8u, you don’t keep score.

[@andybarillas9244]

My 1st games tomorrow! Boys U9 and Girls U12! Nervous but excited to have some fun!!!

[@oussamasaci]

Thanks you so much for the video. I am about to take my first match, this has been really helpful

[@isaacdrake5160]

Reffing my first u12 game today and I’m only 13 but at least I have another ref on the field to help me

[@B1ueone]

How did it go?

[@TheCharlieActon]

Other way round. Indirect is a straight arm up in the air. A direct free kick is an arm at 100 degrees to the body.

[@matteocarlini27]

Quick tip for new Referees. As the center, make you practice TLC When a goal is scored. TLC means, Trail-AR, Lead AR, and Center. Reason for this is because sometimes someone might commit a foul and someone has to watch the field.

[@Mck_Pluto]

Ive got a u12 select later and its my first game as center, and my ARs first game in u12. Super nervous but hopefully I’ll make it through.

[@jacobsingle10]

[@anthonylauro5711]

update this season. two arms not required to signal advantage

[@danielnsofor35]

Great resource.

[@jrobinhomo4810]

What’s a indirect kick

[@jesusaguiniga5983]

For any AR referee, I am looking for a new set of lineman flags should I buy nylon or polyester flags???? Thank you!

[@matteocarlini27]

One thing to know about Calling advantage is that you can use 1 arm when running.

[@refereeradio4466]

Check out the REFEREE RADIO channel for cutting edge referee talk. No BS, straight talk for the serious referee...

[@ImaGoofyGoober0]

Thanks for the assistance!

[@onesmartgirl4772]

For indirect and direct free kicks which way do you raise your hand?

[@matteocarlini27]

To answer you question, you raise your hand on an Indirect free kick.

[@coordinator3039]

This is my chance to make a moment in tomorrows friendly

[@matteocarlini27]

Referee Headsets make it Easy because I am able to communicate with my other officials. I like because no one will know what we are talking about

[@izaakvanbeuge6958]

How'd you do?

[@House-gt4ze]

My first game today. Ahh it’s u6 so if I mess up they won’t notice as that’s good

[@charlessmith263]

Sometimes, when you want to send a very serious offending player off the pitch for the rest of the game, some refs do this red card signal this way.... 1. Face the offender and then display a yellow card first for several seconds, and then; 2. Immediately display a red card later on--on that player, to send that person off.

[@WilliamLutgens]

im going to sighn up when its November :D

[@3zz526]

What about the ball drop

[@abbasaleh1902]

[@jeromunez7962]

[@basketballandstuff546]

Offside is an Indirect free kick.
