Soccer Equipment Reviews
I am going to ref a G-9 soccer game and need tips and rules just for review..?
I am a new ref and am going to ref a girls-9 soccer game. Can you just help me review most of the stuff I should know, like stuff about gamecards and what to look for in the player’s equipment. It would be great if you answer things in order like: first, ask the coaches how long each half should be. Then, ask for the fee and gamecards. Next, check the equipment, etc. Thanks!
okay wen u start the game, i personally hav a list at home on what the equipment i need in order to ref so i dont forget anything. this includes, socks, cleats, shorts, jersey, badge, watch, coin, pen, gamecard, jacket and all that good stuff. wen u appear at the field stand and walk straight so u look professional, like ppl that are very fancy, head straight up, no slouching…all that manner stuff. if u look good they will giv u a good first impression. before u enter the field to check in the teams, remember..u10 and below is 25 minute halfs, u12 and below is 30, u14 and below is 35, u16- ithink its 19? is 40 minutes and ya… so that shud hel[ you. wen u ask for the game card, hand it to ur AR (assistant referee) and tell them to hold it...with a pen in their other hand. as u approach one team, you ask the coaches to ask their kids to lineup in a straigh line...preferably one of the white lines..depends where they start to set up, but mostly it shud be on the top of the box. this is routine for the kids so they might just do that my themselves. then u check for any jewelery...blah blah blah blah, as u speak u shud talk in a loud firm voice, not mean but pleasing, but kinda confident. u ask them to turn around so u are facing ther backs and tell them to lift up one fott so they are kinda doin the flamingo stretch. u go and look for any toe cleats or any cleats with screwins or metal. u look for toe cleats becuz they are dangerous, toe cleats are cleats with a stud on the very edge of ur cleat sole. thgey are only in baseball cleats and ppl try to use baseball cleats for both sports, but that is unacceptable and it only works vice versa. u want to look for any screw in cleats to make sure they are tightly screwed on and wont unscrew during the game because that screw can be dangerous. when looking, if you are and experienced ref, youll be able to see a toe cleat with out looking at the bottom, just how it looks, usually high on the heels. but some just dont see that, but if you know how socr cleats look like and all that good stuff u should see quickly. the screwins are a little bit harder, but u can ask the kids if they hav any. then u tell them to turn back around and make sure they dont hav any jewelery on, no earings, bracelets, rings...only if it is for religous reasons, thats only wen its okay. if ppl refuse to obey these orders, u can tell them that they cant play or for the toe cleats....cut off the one toe stud so it is safe. if ppl do not obey and still put there kid into the game, you can either give the coach a last warning and threaten to make them forfeit the gmae, after all the ref must control the game!!! after checking for that, tell ur AR to call off each name from the game card, and check them off once the kid showed their number and goes behind u. then u go on to the next team...after checking each team, giv them a lecture on how u want a clean game with good sportsmanship and if they are llittle kids, im sure they will listen, girls usually dont push at that age. OH YEAH, before checking in the teams, and u get the game cards from the coaches, be sure to offer a hand shake and look them dead in the eye and give them a firm hand shake, if they giv u a weak sauce dead fish handshake and u dont realise it after u squeeze hard, quickly dead fish back, dont look like a jerk. same with after the game, u shake the coaches hands FIRM, professionalism is a key. once done checking in, get the game ball(s) three preferably, one at the center one behind each goal and tell ur ARs to put one ball behind each net and then tell the coaches that u are goin to start the game in a few minues, always be sure to keep track of wut time it is so u can start on time, be sure to try to come to the game at least 30 minutes befor the gmae to ensure u hav enuf time and the coach has enuf time to talk to the kids. once u are at the center of the field with ur ARS next to u, call for the captains from each team. the procedure is to tell the players to introduce each other by shaking hands and telling each other their names. once done with that, u are going to show each team what heads and tails was on ur coin...so ther is no confusion. then say show wich team is away and say.."u get the toss" then say "call it in the air" so they dont cheat of any sort.if they win ....ask them. "do u want to defend this side or thats side..?" pointing to both ends, if they say "this side", then u will say to the home team.."okay, u will be defending that side starting off with the ball, pointing at which side they are defending." if the away team did indeed lose that toss, u ask the home team which side do they want to defend, then wut ever choice they chose, the away team will be on the other side kicking off. be sure to tell both teams clearly so ther is o confusion. then as the coaches begin ther prep talks, once u see u need to start the game now, u blow the whisle signallin its time to play. then once both teams are ready, look at both goalies to see if they are ready, see if ur watch is working, look at the ARs to see if they are ready, and begin ur match. believe me, g-9 is probably boringer than all the other games. boy u-9 are alittle better to ref, but girls seem to hav the gmae take ssssllllllooooowwwwweeeerrrrr. after u are done with the game, tell ur ARs to get all three balls, then both teams do ther cheers, and u are "supposed" to watch any spitting on their hands...probably not in u-9. but stand there, and the kids will shake ur hands, then the coaches, after that u are free to go...be sure to giv back the balls to the home team and giv bak the player cards back to each team and turn in ur gamecard to wherever u need to turn it in. then u are donte with reffing the game :]
