I'm doing my 7-6 and there's a section on the assessment about optimum position at kick off I've got my first coach visit in the new year so I'm just wondering what the best position is.

There's been a few recommendations to watch other referees, if you wanted to do this there's load of full matches on youtube so you can see some of the best referees in the world. Of course you don't have the pressure of being out on the green stuff with everyone looking at you but sometimes...

Thanks, that helps a lot

No reaction from team b that I remember, it’s all a bit of a blur but a huge reaction from the team a

I gave a foul for holding - team A DFK(I was in a good position for this and no complaints from anyone) the team A player then turned around and I saw his arm move. I then heard him hit the team B player - this is quite hard to explain but I'm sure I heard contact so I logged the violent conduct...

I showed a red card for violent conduct on Sunday (my second of the season). There was nothing short of an uproar from the team but particularly the coach. I don't know if this was because of a poor decision of whether they just aren't used to seeing red cards at their age group. I also had the...

Okay, thanks I'll look into it

I warm before most matches but sometimes my legs ache and hurt afterwards. I'm 15 so I'm starting to feel this a bit more. Does anyone have a solid warm up routine which covers their body but particularly legs? Thanks.

I've looked into that and I've got other plans but refereeing is the dream.

Okay, makes sense personally I like to plan ahead and know where I'm going. Lot's of people said it's not a great idea focussing on aspirations to reach the very top too quickly but my head just works like that. Also as a young referee starting young I don't see an issue with looking at this as...

Does the promotion pathway change each season?

I know, I turn 16 this season and am going for 7-6 I’m just planning ahead and looking at options for the next season or two.

Where would I find the info/ announcement about this?

So dissent cautions with a sin bin are different to normal cautions (a red card isn’t shown for two). If a sub is shown a yellow card for dissent and then commits a yellow card offence on the pitch are they shown a second yellow then red?

I've been refereeing for about a year which is long enough for me to decide I want to go all the way. I'm curious how long it takes to reach each level and are there any tips and tricks I can use to get ahead of the game? Also I turn 16 in Jan so I'm planning on joining county league for middles...

I'm 15 too I moved onto a new league at the start of the season (fresh start). Previously I had trouble with confidence and cards but this season I changed it and I've been dishing out cards left right and centre! Sometimes I think it's tough to control some players as a young referee so big...

Fair Point. We’ve also got to be careful at youth level with safeguarding of players.

Yep, I normally wave a hand in the general direction of the shout or the player and shout “I’ve seen it” or “I’m coming back”.

If either team is on the attack/ in a promising position a play on unless they’re holding their head.

I’m 15 so am only refereeing youth football. Almost all injuries receive treatment should players leave the pitch until after the restart? Should this be done in adult football too or is it only necessary from a certain level?
