Position of Mentee
AR 1
Date / Time of Match
10/04/2025 10:30 AM
Field Location of Match
SC 13 N
Positioning/Movement
Positioning along touchline during active play and staying at the offside line
2 = Satisfactory
Positioning/Movement Comments
RJ's positioning along the touchline and for CK/GK was acceptable although he needs to improve in a couple things:
1. He got stuck watching the ball and lost focus on the location of the second to last defender, putting him in an unideal spot if an offense occurred.
2. On corner kicks, he stood along the sideline a little to far away from the flag. Instead, he should stand right behind the flag, watching the goaline, and ready to alert the center if the ball leaves the field of play.
Ryan did an excellent job signaling for goal kicks! He ran to the goal line every time, signaled at a 90 degree angle, made eye contact with the center referee, and he understands when to call a GK verses a CK.

Signaling:
Position at corner for signaling GK or CK
2 = Satisfactory
Signaling Coments
Accuracy when signaling offside:
4 = Offsides did not occur
Correct mechanics when signaling for offside
4 = Offsides did not occur
Comment on offside signaling
Offside did not occur for Ryan, however he struggled with staying glued to the second-to-last defender. This makes calling an offside offense much more difficult and inaccurate.
Accuracy when signaling throw-ins
1 = Good
Correct mechanics when signaling throw-ins
2 = Satisfactory
Comment on throw-in signaling
Ryan demonstrated a strong understanding of throw-ins and consistently identified the correct team when the ball left the field of play.
Although his directional signals were accurate, his flag positioning was at a 90-degree angle rather than the proper 45-degree angle. Next time, he should raise his flag slightly higher to ensure correct signaling mechanics. Additionally, Ryan needs focus on making eye contact with the referee before raising his flag, confirming that both the referee and assistant referee agree in the direction.

Comments for the Mentee
Great work! Thank you for coming out to be an assistant referee last weekend!
Here is what you did good:
- Worked hard
- Understood when to call corner kicks, goal kicks, throw ins, and substitutions
- Made confident and clean decisions
- Came in the correct uniform
You need to improve on:
- Standing right behind the flag on a corner kick! This makes it much easier to see if the ball leaves the field of play. Fee free to take a step or two backwards to get out of the player's way
- Make better eye contact with the referee on throw-ins and substitutions! This is how you know both parties agree on what is happening in the game
- Lift youre flag higher on throw-ins! It was at a 90 degree angle and we want it to be at a about a 45 degree angle
