Compact Guide to Being a Better Referee & Tips on Control,
By
This review is from: Smart Soccer Officiating (Paperback)
Excellent guide by an experienced referee who uses actually game situations to outline proper calls and when to make calls. My favorite section is the Myths of the game such as playing the ball while on the ground, its only a foul if it puts another player in danger. Plenty of room, no foul. Other good tips are on restarts so as to keep the game flowing (no need to wait for a whistle, let the free kick start when the offense wants to), underlining the critical decisions such as offsides (if you are not sure, no flag), how to referee the different age groups, different situations for adavantge for different age groups, how to control the game and when to apply cards when it is most appropriate and critical. Realistic commentary such as if both teams line up for a goal kick, even though you saw it lightly flick a defender, go withh the 21 other players that think its a goal kick. Very readable and to the point, 91 pages but lots of depth.

A good resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Smart Soccer Officiating (Paperback)
This book, in addition to "For the good of the game" by Edwards & Bellion, have really helped me in my growth and development as a soccer referee. It is small but is to the point and very direct in its approach. This book will make you think about what you are doing on the field and, if applied, will help you be a better referee.
