    Season 2 Ep 17 Move On

    Nobody is perfect! Not even referees...and to think that they should be is unrealistic. As a referee, though, one should always try to better themselves in an effort to reduce the mistakes. At the same time, when mistakes (real or perceived) are made, everyone...and I mean EVERYONE...needs to move on. Share Your Thoughts

    Season 2 Ep 16 Holding Ourselves to Account

    Season 2 Ep 15 Mentoring

    Share Your Thoughts! In this episode, we discuss what happens when respected referees pick and choose what to enforce on the field. We also dive into what a mentor is supposed to do for a lesser experienced referee (and what should NOT be done). The finale is just a little vindication for myself because of some news that I heard! Let's dive into becoming Better Referees!

    Season 2 Ep 13.8 Laws of the Game: Final Thoughts

    We conclude our series, "Laws of the Game", with some points of emphasis and final thoughts on applying the Laws. The most important aspect is to know the Laws, apply them, and use experience (your own AND that of others) to gain wisdom. Doing so consistently will allow you to become "the Better Referee".

    Season 2 Ep 13.7 Laws 15-17

    Laws 15, 16, and 17 are probably the easiest of the Laws to understand and interpret. However, as always, there are a couple of caveats that every referee needs to know about. This episodes discuss the laws and some of these caveats. Send a Message

    Season 2 Ep 13.6 Laws 13-14

    Laws 13 and 14, “Free Kicks” and “The Penalty Kick”, are discussed in this episode of our series on the Laws of the Game. There are a few things about these Laws that can be confusing to referees, as well as some players and coaches. The important thing is that, as referees, we familiarize ourselves with the Laws beyond our formal training in order to become better referees. Let Your Voice Be Heard!

    Season 2 Ep 13.5 Law 12

    In this session of the “Laws of the Game” series we focus on Law 12, Fouls and Misconduct. As referees, our primary duty is to keep players safe, and Law 12 is at the heart of how we do so. You are encouraged to read this Law yourself, ask questions, and really try to improve your recognition of fouls, how you handle various situations, and how to apply Law 12 to these fouls and situations.
