Title: Here's a Yellow Card for Asking: How to Be a Soccer Referee

Author: Danny Ang

Article:
Soccer is the sport for you. You have posters of David Beckham
on every wall, (yep, he's a soccer player. What do you mean you
had no idea?) you have to be reminded to leave your cleats on
the back porch or you wear them through the house. You have eyed
the neighbor's cat longingly when he stands next to that oddly
hung little gate- in your mind it looks just like a miniature
soccer goal, and that fat, black and white cat, well you get the
picture. Yep, you have soccer fever for sure, and the best
treatment for that is to get you onto a team. But, how do you
pick the best team for you? How do you find the team that will
match your competitive spirit and yet not be so uptight over
every loss that no one ever has any fun?

Finding a team with the right balance of fire and fun can be
tricky, but the best place to start is the coach. In most cases,
the coach will be a good indicator to the temperament of the
team- if he is uptight and high strung, his players will likely
be tense and edgy as well. On the other hand, if he is too laid
back the players may be even more tense because they do not have
the confidence in his coaching abilities. A good coach needs to
be a good leader, and you cannot lead anybody, anywhere without
a backbone, can you?

Talk to the coaches and find out what kind of style they have.
Are the accessible, could you actually talk to them, or did they
talk at, through or over you? What are their practice schedules
like? Will you be able to keep up? If you are involved in other
activities will a busy soccer routine keep you from doing
anything else? What is the policy if you have to miss a
practice? Will you automatically be benched for the next game,
or is there something that can be arranged before hand? A coach
that is completely inflexible may not be the right fit, so
consider the responses he gives you as a basic indicator to
coaching style and personality.

Finally, if you are the one that gets to pick the basic team,
consider what the goal is for this league. Do you want to win,
or are you just out to have fun? If you want to win, then you
might have to choose people you do not really like- but a good
goal scorer that you loathe is better than a friend that falls
off the bench when tying her shoes. If you are just out there
for the fresh air and the fun, then by all means grab the clutz
and giggle your way through the game. Just stock up on band-aids
and bactine before you start.
