Soccer Ref Equipment
Soccer Ref Equipment
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 :]

The Right Football Gear
When you are looking at football gear it is important to consider the position or team player that you need the equipment for. Of course there are not a lot of positions that are on the team but you do need to make sure that they have the right equipment so that they can do their job properly and play with less chance of getting injured during game time. This means that you should also keep in mind the things that you will need for practice sessions as well since some of the gear is a little different.
If you are looking for practice gear than you are going to want to make sure that you have practice vests. Some people know them better as pinnies and are used to be able to divide the team up so that they can practice against each other to run drills. This is a very useful part of football gear so that the entire team can get a chance to play different positions and be able to learn what the opposing team may do during actual game time. You can get these in different sizes and colors as well.
Of course another thing that you are going to want to take a look at are goalie fences. If you are running practice drills and games than you are going to want these so that the team members will be able to focus on where the ball is supposed to go. And do not forget the most important part of the football gear is the ball. Without this vital piece of equipment there will not even be a game to begin with. Although they are pretty standard, you can get them in different colors and designs if you so choose to.
You then have to decide upon the shirts that you are going to have and the style that seems to be suite your team. There are different ones that you can pick from such as the v-neck and the crop neck. Keep in mind that you can also chose from different colors as well. When looking at your football gear you are also going to want to look at clothes for the referee as well as socks and cleats. Don't forget your whistles for the ref to be able to call the game for penalties and scores.
All of this is going to be a part of your vital list for football gear. Again you will need to purchase the right things for each player on your team so that they are well equipped to be able to play the game the way it is meant to. You will also want to look into padded pants for the goalie as well as shin guards. You may also want to consider getting team bags or perhaps backpacks for your players so that they can carry and go no matter where they are playing. So stock up and enjoy the game no matter where you are each and every day.

There’s also a question of the culture of the game.
But the culture of the game includes deliberate violation of the rules. There is even a term for it: “professional foul.”
It cannot have escaped attention that officiating in this World Cup has not been good. Even at the highest levels of the game, the exercise of authority within the game is arbitrary and capricious. This is true to some extent of all sports, of course (“Is it a ball or a strike?” “It isn't anything until I call it.”), but it is most marked in soccer: if the ref doesn't see the ball cross the goal line, no goal has been scored. A possible ethical reaction to the arbitrary and capricious exercise of authority is to take it upon oneself to judge appropriate standards of behaviour.
There is a television play by Tom Stoppard (from the 1980s, if I remember correctly) which explores this. Some British philosophers visit Prague for a conference at the same time as a World Cup qualifying match is being held. One of the philosophers, witnessing the treatment by the regime of one of his former students, a signer of Charter77, is moved, at the end of the play, to commit his own professional foul.
While this thought probably belongs in the other thread, I have wondered if the capricious exercise of authority in soccer is a feature rather than a bug. Most of the countries in which soccer is most popular are either now dictatorships or have recently been. It may be that to see capriciousness on the field has a somewhat cathartic effect and to oppose it on the field relieves some tension that arises from being unable to oppose it in the streets. Certainly support of Spartak against Dinamo in the '30s and '40s seems to have functioned as symbolic (and therefore harmless) opposition to the regime — not that that kept the Chairman of Spartak from being arrested.]]>
