So today, I reefed two mini football matches and at 7's and 8s. Both teams I have hand in coaching. First match went by without much incident I feel, a few judgements I thought went one way others the other. Then a few grumblings. Plenty of 'play on' advantage played. 2nd game, well thought...

Is this that common in today's game on a Sunday?

I sure hope not Dan, I was lucky that the Junior league paid for people to complete the course. I took it last year at 33. it's taken just over a year to do 5 games with my 6 and call back event next week after a break as I Run my sons teams. Finally back into it I'm just curious if I get fit...

Thanks James, Tbh I get terrible nerves pregrame and when first whistle goes and I settle in. I will try and block the questionable decisions till afterwards. I think cause I've seen so much agro to referees as a player, parent and now manager I'm expecting it, then thinking how to deal with...

I appreciate that feed back guys, like I said in my original post. im relatively fit despite my size. Im confident that I can keep up with play of the U12-15 years. More curious as to where others are at. I will look at couch to 5k. Also interested in other match related fitness that can...

To be honest I do like some of the stuff, but always seems to be out of stock.

Hi folks, Just wondered why people consider the need to be fitness wise. Through some health issues for my son and lots of time in hospital I gained a fair amount of weight. However I run a kids football team so stoll active. long distance running is a no go though ha ha. Im wanting to...

Hi folks, Is there any good suppliers for good quality referee gear from flags to whistles to cards? Does anyone have preference on cards and watches etc? I want to start building my tackle but don't want to buy rubbish quality

It does get a lot at times 3 days with my youngest two and 2 days with my eldest team. But the Mini football season ends soon so I can build my refereeing up. It's taken a while to even ref a u7s off my own back due to nerves ha ha. Interested to see what people prefer Juniors or Adults and...

Hi Minty, Sure you can ask. It's mainly a convenience thing. I manage 3 u8s teams and a U7s. But also help coach my eldest sons team at U13. So games have been few and far between, but now things have settled a little I want to build my portfolio.

Cheers Guys Very insightful. Do you guys do Junior or operate and have a preference? If so why? Yesterday I did an U7 and a U8 straight after, found the U8s easier to Ref for some reason.

Cheers Paul, I think in time I will enjoy it, but as it's new I'm analysing everything. As a junior manage I've seen my fair share of refs getting abuse and probably expect it. Just yesterday I had a few that were shouting referee! But I ignored that. Good point on the call then arm. What...

Hi folks, I passed my referee course last year in October and due to running my sons Junior Football team I have struggled to get games in etc. However Im to to go to level 7 in November. I've refereed a few friendlies now. A fair few mini football games, but 5, 9v9 and been assessed on one...

As my first post I had an incident in a game yesterday. Granted it was only an U7s game but wondered if I had this decision right. Red team to take KO after Blues had scored. I blow my whistle and Blues attack into the center circle, Reds Kick Ball and Blues take ball off them but had an...
