Hello everyone, Im hoping to ref an U11s game this weekend but upon looking for some information on rules etc I’m struggling to find anything! If anyone has any information please let me know or a handy guide. My understanding is that it is mainly the standard Lotg but 30 mins halves. Offsides...

Yeah I’m thinking I might keep it simple after all the advice, one stopwatch and one watch to monitor the time on! Doesn’t seem you can go wrong with that approach!

Haha! Didn’t even think of that!

Thank you Graeme, yeah as the Casio I have ordered only has a stopwatch I was thinking about having my Apple Watch doing a countdown, probably feel more confident starting and stopping the Apple Watch as it’s less fiddly than a small watch on my wrist! I’m sticking to pencil and paper for my...

Thank you! Think I’ll just stick to the Casio then! Totally take on what you’re saying, as I’d probably get overwhelmed with 2 watches and trying to focus on my first games! Really appreciate the advice! £10 Casio is going to get ordered

Thank you @Gamespoiler! Just whilst I’m here, I’m going to be using my Apple Watch with the REFSIX app, not sure if anyone would recommend it. I’m thinking about also having another watch for timekeeping stoppages etc . Any recommendations on this, I was thinking a simple Casio watch

Thank you Graeme! No doubt I’ll be back in here Friday night frantically reading through all the forums getting all the tips I can!

Officially signed up to a league for the first time, did my course about 3 months ago so need to dust the cobwebs off! Haven’t reffed a game yet but hoping to get involved in some friendlies to get a feel for it. Think the main thing I am taking into it is to just enjoy it and everything else...

Brilliant thank you!

Thank you, seen a lot of people say this about nerves before a game which is reassuring!

Maybe we were on the same course haha. I’m going from playing every Sunday to refereeing so the 5 games will be a good eye opener for me!

Hello, do you have another link for this please or the name of it, link isn’t working for me! Thank you!

Thank you! I will check that out! Nervous about refereeing but think if I can enjoy it that will make it worth it!

Yeah I just want to get stuck in whilst the course is still fresh in my mind! Any recommendations on where to get kit from would be appreciated from anyone, had a look around and struggling to find places with stock!

Thank you James! Did you start U18s category or lower than that?

Thank you! I am 26 but never reffed a game in my life, used to play Sunday league so I know what it can be like! I think you’re right with the youth leagues and building up :)

Thank you for your advice :)

Hello, I have just completed my course and now have to do my 5 games. Do you recommend doing these 5 in the youth leagues to get experience or go straight into adult Sunday league? Would be interested to hear what others have done or recommend. Thank you!
