Hi James
We already have a very recent thread on this topic:

I think there is plenty in there that will answer this question.
We already have a very recent thread on this topic:
Pre-Match Kit Check
How and when do you guys do your pre-match kit check? Of course, I always try to do one, but it tends to feel a bit awkward and as if I’m disrupting the teams in their pre-match set up. I could do with some advice on when to do it so it causes minimal disruption or annoyance, but also so players...

while i know this is posted in jest, @James P please dont worry about sock tape on your first game!Make sure sock tape is the same colour as the socks is my big bit of advice, especially if you plan to post photos on this forum.
by all means check the boots (for anything dangerous / unsuitable) and jewellery as there are potential health and safety impacts but dont worry (yet) about under garments and tape
do you checks when the players are in one place, in a huddle on the pitch or coming out of a changing room
You are better off asking the league that question - you only need to submit a report if you’ve given any bookings/abandoned the game etc. A lot of the time, especially if it is youth football, (I don’t know what age group you were doing, or if you were doing open age), managers are told to submit the score themselves.

Congrats, getting the first one out of the way is a big step.
You will need to refer to your league handbook to see what you need to report to the league, for example my leagues require me to complete a form and email it to the referee secretary after every game.
You only have to enter games on the whole game system if you have any discipline stuff to report.
The sock tape has to be the same? I am a goalkeeper (and a referee, clearly) and I usually wear blue socks (my kit) but black sock tape?!Make sure sock tape is the same colour as the socks is my big bit of advice, especially if you plan to post photos on this forum.

Have a look at Law 4.2, ref...
I’ve never thought about it really- especially as I’ve been getting away with it for years! I usually find that a lot of players don’t wear sock tape that I referee, but shin guards instead of just shin pads and nothing to hold them up.
It barely gets enforced at grassroots unless the ref is on the promotion path, and even then...
