SC 5
Positioning/Movement
3 = Needs Improvement
Positioning along touchline during active play and staying at the offside line
Positioning/Movement Comments
Very central and far from play overall. Being too central allows one to get stacked and not see clearly contact that may occur. At time, more than 20 yards from play.

Foul selection was good and consistent - no oddities happened that caused Tom to make an interpretation about the laws of the game.

Uniform/Appearance comments
Tom wore black pants, but given the weather conditions, I think this was fine. It did not impact his professionalism or ability to referee this match to any noticeable ability.
Comments for the Mentee
Remember the 5 swim lanes we discussed - if you're in that central lane, you need to be moving at all times. This movement doesn't have to be FAST, but it needs to be constant. Try and utilize the lanes next to that central lane to overtake play or let play overtake you in the transition to the attacking third.
Mentor's Recommendation
Mentee is Good to Center Games
Comments for the Assignor
This game wasn't challenging to him on a management level. I'd like to see him do this same age but with Boys. I'm not sure how strained his fitness is, but the game was one-sided to an extent so it was hard to assess that.
