Re fe re e Po s itio ning
It is important for the Referees to be in the correct position to monitor play.
Re fe re e Po s itio ning – D u a l S y s te m • The Dual System of Officiating utilizes two (2) qualified referees who cover the entire field. • Each referee has responsibility over the entire field, and can make calls on fouls anywhere on the field. • The referees are expected to work TOGETHER as a team – just like the teams playing on the field!

Re fe re e Po s itio ning – D u a l S y s te m • Lead Referee: The referee who is advancing with the ball in the attacking half of the field. • Trail Referee: The referee who is behind the play/players in the attacking half of the field. • Each referee becomes the Lead/Trail as the direction of the ball changes on the field.
Re fe re e Po s itio ning – D u a l S y s te m • General Position: Off the field, along the touch line On-field as needed to get close to play • Lead Referee: Even with second-to-last defender - or- even with ball, whichever is closer to the goal line Follow all balls to goal line
Re fe re e Po s itio ning – D u a l S y s te m • Trail Referee: Monitoring action/fouls/misconduct off the ball Fouls around the ball which the Lead Referee cannot see. Snap judgments on Offside if direction of play is reversed quickly • Signals Must know instantly and use properly
Pregame – Dual System The referee should arrive early (at least 30 minutes) to complete the following tasks: • Inspection of field (markings, nets, goalposts, safety issues) • Conduct a pre-game meeting with your partner • Talk about signals, subs, who has primary book/time, etc. • Check players’ equipment • Check game balls
You should never be the cause of a delayed start.
Re f e r e e P o s i t i o n i n g
G a m e C o ntro l in the D u a l S y s te m • The Dual System requires BOTH referees to work hard during the match. • Sprint so you are in the right position at the right time. • “Go where you NEED to go to SEE what you NEED to SEE.” • Anticipate play – and get in position to see if that play develops.
G a m e C o ntro l in the D u a l S y s te m • New Referees – focus on your area of the field. • Let your partner deal with their area of the field. • Communicate as much as possible with your partner during play and at stoppages. • Don’t be offended if your partner calls something in your area.
G a m e C o ntro l in the D u a l S y s te m • Remember: The two referees on a match are a TEAM. Do NOT put yourself on an island. Work with your partner in order to get the best results for the match!
H o w to S e l l yo u r C a l l s Accurate decisions will sell your calls! •
Know the Laws (facts) Where are free kicks taken Is it Direct or Indirect Is the ball in play or out When are signals required • Exercise judgment (opinion) Was that a foul? Is that misconduct? Is that player offside? • Signal your Decision Indecision can be fatal!
Signals • Visual Hand • Audible Verbal or whistle
Note: Whistle tone should be varied according to the situation
