Ref Base – Mentor Evaluations

Noah did well staying even with the 2nd last opponent and made an effort to run to the goal line following the ball out of play. This was particularly impressive given it was Noah's first time working as AR.

I gave him pointers on positioning during a corner kick in situations where the kick was taken in his near corner. Also, during a defensive (left-ward) throw.in, I gave him pointers on positioning along the touchline so that he would be closer to the goal line and to the right of play.

I advised Noah that he only needed to signal for a throw-in when the ball went out of play along his touchline, and not AR2's touchline across the field.

I did not observe issues with how he interacted with players or coaches.

I gave Noah suggestions on how to hold the flag (straight down as opposed to outward), which hand to hold the flag when standing still or moving, and which hand to signal with on the different restarts.

Noah improved on his signalling for a substitution, both when and how it should be done.

Also, gave guidance on what the AR's signal was a good goal was scored -- i.e. running back up the field with the flag down in his right hand.
