Where the officials are positioned is determined by how many officials are working. We work in a six man crew and the positions are as follows for a free kick following a fair catch. The R is behind the Kickers, the U is at or near the goal line on the press box side of the field, the Linesman has the kicking line opposite the pressbox, the line judge has the receivers on the pressbox side of the field, the field judge has the post on the pressbox side of the field and the side judge has the post opposite the pressbox.
