Two person officiating
My daughter has been playing since U-6. Since U-10 when offside was first called, I have seen 3 officials at every game. This was her first season at U-13 and her final game only had two officials...neither with a flag and both looked like they were doing the same job...a combo line judge/referee in each half of the field.
My hat goes off to officials anyway and the job they do. But I was really impressed with these two having to work like that and still do as well as they did. How often do you officials do two-person? Any stories to tell from working like that? |
In high/middle school, two person is very frequent. Most high school games I work are two person, so I'm pretty much used to it. The NFHS has two official mechanics.
USSF is a different story. There is a modified/hybrid two-person set-up (that you probably saw) with two whistles, but generally, USSF/FIFA pushes a one-whistle system. If you must have two officials, it's preferred the other has a flag. |
