  3. ALL Crew Members • Accept the game promptly • Communicate in advance. AR Initiate contact if necessary! • E-mail, telephone … • Texting, tweeting, carrier pigeon … not so much • When? • At least 30 minutes prior to start time. • Where? • “Meet me in the parking lot of Total Sport Experience.”

  4. Here is TSE. Where is “In the parking lot?” What does a crew member know about parking at TSE?

  5. These areas will be full before you all arrive

  6. But if we’re on this field … We could probably find parking spots here.

  7. Even in the pre-pregame, we have …….. Options

  8. I’m happily driving down Elmgrove Rd. We’re on this field I can also cut through here Google Maps

  9. On balance … Time spent providing directions Time spent looking for partners

  10. So we got to the field and found each other … Before we start talking about this game …

  11. Background Information • What do we know about the Referee or AR? • New or experienced official? • Experience as AR • Experience as referee with ARs • Experience at this level • Adjust pre-game accordingly

  12. Referee with “Brand New” ARWhat should you discuss? Don’t overload • Concentrate on Position • Make Offside Decisions • Ball over boundary lines • Don’t worry about fouls • Don’t worry about the “fine points” – which hand the flag is in, how to signal PK, subtle signals, calling for cards

  13. You’re the brand new AR • Tell the referee • Ask questions • Concentrate on position • You’ll make mistakes – don’t worry! • Get comfortable in new role

  14. AR with “some” experience • Still stress Position • Offside decisions = #1 priority • Boundary lines in your area/my area • What if you or I don’t know? • Use proper signals • Fouls …. ?

  15. What will we tell the Experienced AR*? • Offside? • Boundary lines? • Fouls/Misconduct? • PK? • Match control? • When to enter field? • Mass confrontation? • Bench control? • Information on teams, standings, etc. *For our purposes, this means "knows and does the job"

  16. Post-game Conference Paperwork -Confirm score, cards Discuss “stuff that happened” – maybe “good” but particularly “bad” Why did it happen? What other options do we have? Being critical is not being “mean.” Try to learn something at each game
