ie offside, what a foul is)įrankly - there will be coaches who have played 11-a-side and known the game better than me, and I really want to avoid a geniunely embarrasing situation. I've only played the game at very low-level 5-or-7-a-side, and to be honest - never particularly cared about the rules or learning them until now (outside of the essentilas. What doing this course has made me realise is that there are rules you are hightly unlikely to see a professional break, and situations that are negliable at a professional level, but are going to be far more likely at amatuer/youth level (off the top of my head - I never would have known that an own goal scored by a goal kick results in a corner, which considering how windy it is where I live is isn't entirely impossible!) For some context, I'm only be doing youth games. Despite this I'm still relaxed about it all, I just want to do the best job possible. I've been doing a ref course online and feel less confident after completing it than I before. Hi everybody, am I glad this forum exsists!
