Welcome Soccer Refs!

As of February 23, 2000, all replies to technical questions posted in this column will have been coordinated with and approved by the U. S. Soccer Federation’s National Program for Referee Development. See the About page for more details.
Questions that require an opinion, rather than or in addition to a technical answer, will bear a caveat pointing out that the answer may not have official status and should not be quoted in various fora as an “official” answer. These answers will be highlighted in red with a blue border.
Respect!

A demonstration of why respect is needed from not only the players, but the parents as well. Also view the Respect Guide for Parents, provided by the English FA.
