Soccer Refereeing Tips #3

-Field and Gear-

Everyone see's the field, and everyone has an idea about the gear, but do you know what the lines mean and what gear you really need?

Field:  Here's a basic layout of the common soccer field.  The dimensions of a field vary between 100x50 to 130x100 yards.  Head out to a field and see if you can identify the main areas of the field.

Gear:  The main item you will need will be the game ball, or 3 or 5.  They should not give way when squeezed.  Be sure to check each playing ball to ensure it is properly filled.  If you have extra, place one at the side of each goal box, that way the goalie can grab one quickly.  There are different sizes, based on age group, and gender.


Now get out there are start doing warm-up laps, tomorrow we'll actually get into the nitty-gritty.

Play on!
