I'm looking to move forward to gradually doing open age games, but I definitely don't feel ready yet to go straight into them. I turn 16 later in the week so the options widen up as, up to this point I was limited to U14 games. What do you think is the best way to push on? I'm already looking...

I'm really happy with how this season went as my first: about 30 games and finished it off with a cup final AR appointment last weekend. I've mainly done U13 games this season (I'm a youth ref so limited up to U14) but I'm not sure what would be best for next season. I turn 16 pretty early into...

What tends to be your match day checklist of things that you make sure to do before kick off, just want to make sure I haven't missed anything. Also, what do you take with you on match day? I know some people have a long list including spares for spares and so on, however I'm only reffing youth...
