Well that sounds easy, but can I suggest that it is not. Week in, week out, I have seen first class performances by assistants on this league. Here are my thoughts as to what makes a good assistant referee. The expectations of the Unibond League are high. We expect good solid performances from all our officials.
First impressions are important.
Your manner, composure and attitude need to be just right. Be part of a team, because when it comes to the crunch we need to be together, in unison, especially when trouble arises. It is important that a degree of trust is built up between officials before, during and after the game. Talk to club officials, players etc, if they want to talk to you, but not to the detriment of the team building between the officials. Listen very carefully to pre-match instructions and if you need to, ask for clarification.
