This isn't a political discussion, so please don't take my comment that way. We've all heard of/seen evidence of various LEOs shooting people...
Dude, this is HUGELY helpful. Thanks, so awesome to get a detailed write-up, exactly what I needed. Signing up and getting after it! I see you...
I'm thinking of signing up for a grassroots mentor class and have a few issues/questions. First of all, the closest class is six hours away, so...
Some great suggestions. Thanks to everyone. Think I'll get a pair of these thinner ones and a convertible glove for colder days and running lines.
It's time to have another gear-based thread. This time can we talk about gloves? I've had a pair of Nike miler gloves for....omg, like ten years...
I had the same issues. Contacted USSF got the same response as everybody else "Yeah, cool, Safesport has an issue." No, bro, your crap is all...
FINALLY, being too old to get my Regional patch is paying off!
Glad to be of service
I'm hearing rumors online about Capelli being the new shirt supplier. I can't imagine being required to buy them, as they're exactly the same as...
Picked up some U11/U12 games to help out Saturday. My last game was really good, very competitive and highly-skilled U12s. It was fun...until the...
I've used a billion variations over the past several years, maybe more than that. Currently I'm using yc-right front, rc-right rear, all for the...
In our local leagues we're strictly unable to add any time to matches, strictly. We're SUPPOSED to tell the coaches to tell them to stop and move...
I'll be writing about this in the "Bad stories" thread in a bit, but I had an AR I WISH would have insisted a bit more for me. Stopped play for...
All I've ever done is say "Let's go, Keep!" Usually solves it. I imagine the only time I'd possibly ever call that is close, big match and keeper...
I wasn't assigned ANY HS playoff matches this year. I was really bummed, because this past spring I officiated probably my best match ever in a...
I just bought these and am wondering if anyone has found any silicone covers for the earbud, or even with the loop that holds it in your ear?...
This, I tell anyone who's new to 2-man to go where they think they need to be. I cheat into the pitch as far as I want and flow all the way down...
It was in IL, I'm just waiting to hear from someone, but I doubt I will.
I was working a two-man boys VAR on Saturday between one 8-1 very good team and a 5-4 team who's really bad (record is really misleading) and...
KFTM to win a knock-out match: Instead, after FT, each team gets to choose one or two players from the opposition (not GK, and can't be more than...
YAY H.S.! I've done a mountain of H.S. the past several years, and I love it. But you ain't wrong about that terrible rule book. I just tested to...
We're fighting through a massive shortage here. I did a 1-man HSB VAR on Wednesday. Two smaller schools, non-conference, on a pitch that is...
Thanks for sharing that, good stuff. I can't get enough training videos lately.
So far this season: 2 VAR middles, 2 Red Cards issued. One for CRAZY obvious DOGSO on a GK, somehow coach thought it should be yellow. One for...
I was one of those additional refs. I'm registered in IL, so part of that crew, but since I'm don't live in Chicago, get ZERO exposure to...
