3 man help

I am doing my first 3 man game this Saturday. I have never done it before. I need all the advice you have. I do not know whether I will be a linesman or the center, but I would love advice for both. Thanks!

It went well. I spoke with my partners about my lack of experience and they were great about giving me help and tips. I was a linesman, and did ok. Staying with the 2nd defender involves a lot more running than I expected. I need to remember to constantly stay level with him, even as I am watching my line or officiating play in my area. Once I get more experience I will know when to switch where I am looking.

I did center for a JV game tonight and it went ok as well. I wish the mechanics section of the NFHS book had more information, but I think I will just have to watch and learn from veterans.

Edit: Check out this website for soccer mechanics information. I found it extremely helpful.
