Referee Positioning
Be in position to make the right call, but not in the play itself

Referee Positioning
Positioning is critical to sell the call!

Recovering from a Bad Call• Premise - Referees are constantly under intense scrutiny and
required to make hundreds of split-second decisions in a match
• BLUF – Once and a while you “kick” one• Remedy
– Fix It – Rules allow fix (prior to restart dead ball); admit it– Spin It – Reorient your focus; better mechanics/positioning– Forget It – Dwelling during match will cause loss of focus– Confront It – Talk to other officials; tape; understand what happened– Prevent It – Review rules; active training to improve
mechanics/positioning– Get Perspective on It – One call does not loose game
Kicking a call makes you like every other official – How you respond to the mistake sets you apart!

Controlling the Match
• Control vs. Chaos “let them play”– Fine line between control and chaos– Factors impacting match control
• “History” between schools• Date of game in season/team records• Size of pitch
– Be consistent from outset • Call fouls for control/prevent retaliation• Easier to loosen the reins than bring them back in• Use coaches and captains to assist in player control• ARs assist Referee with off-the-ball or behind the back fouls/misconduct• Critical foul areas – benches, keepers, sliding tackles, high boots, grabbing/holding• Use cards to cause changes in behavior• Deal with problems before they become a major issue
– Have a plan if a fight occurs• Keep players on bench• Get numbers• Get coaches/administrator involved• Do not get in the middle of an altercation – observe and record

When is Enough - EnoughDrawing the line
• Best way to answer criticism may be not to answer at all!
• Be prepared but not predisposed – What is the impact of the dissent on the pitch?– What is impact on the other coach?– What is the impact on the fans?
• Keep your cool – don’t be flamboyant– Demonstrate poise and maintain your dignity
Let the coach/player cook their own goose!

You need to know when to hold them and when to fold them, but the bottom line is you need to get something for your cards
