Positioning/Movement
2 = Satisfactory
Positioning along touchline during active play and staying at the offside line
Positioning/Movement Comments
Generally good movement but behind play during breakaways. There was an example of this in the 9' when AYSO scored on a breakaway and your position was near the halfway line. We discussed this at halftime, and you made obvious efforts to improve in this regard during the second half.
Decision Making/Rules Application:
1 = Good
Decision Making/Rules Application: Comments
You had a particularly good moment in the 24' when the attacker was clearly fouled as they received the ball just inside the build-out-line. You properly recognized that the attacker was offside and sanctioned the offside infraction instead of the foul.

Your signaling mechanics were generally good. As discussed, be aware that occasionally your elbow is bent while showing the throw-in signal. This can make the referee appear indecisive. Work on keeping your signals crisp in all moments.

Comments for the Mentee
Riley - you did a nice job during this match. As discussed, you are currently using a small pea whistle. You are capable of using and should consider getting a bigger whistle, either pea style or pealess style. A Fox40 is a common referee whistle for this field size and can be purchased locally or on-line for under $10. If you get a pealess whistle, practice blowing it using your tongue to hit tone and volume prior to using it in a match. We also discussed a moment in the 18' when you properly beckoned a coach on the field during an injury stoppage. Recognize this as a critical moment for the referee and move away from the injured player and the coach's path. This will help avoid a potentially unpleasant interaction requiring further management if the coach makes negative comments while near you. I also appreciated that you were early to this match and easily started it on time. This gave us a moment to talk before the game, and I further appreciated your insights on your role as the referee and some examples you offered from the perspective of a player. Thank you for being a referee.
Mentor's Recommendation
Mentee is Good to Center Games
Comments for the Assignor
Riley is good to center games at this level. As noted, she was over 30 mins early to the game and easily started it on time. This gave us a moment to talk and I was impressed with her mature understanding of the referee's role and wanting to give the players a good game.
