Nice video, very informative. I would also tell new ARs to be confident in your decisions. Don't be afraid to put you flag up, and as the video said, make frequent eye contact. If you are confused on where to look, keep you focus on the play most of the time, but also glance every couple of seconds to make sure you are in the correct position. This way you can help the referee for decisions which are closer to you. Another big tip, when you anticipate a ball to be played through the back line, and there might be an offside offense, watch the line, and listen for the kick. Hopefully this helps somebody.
Wow! What a great video! I'm 53 and doing this very thing tomorrow. Fortunately I'll be with my twin boys who are experienced ARs and Centers for youth and this video has simplified my responsibilities and the expectations. The 'official' videos are very detail -oriented and hand-mechanic heavy. This calms the nerves a bit.
Don't let yourself drift into watching the game when the ball is not is your area of responsibility. Focus on staying inline with that last defender and where the attackers are. For me, talking out loud during the game about how contact is made, who kicked the ball out bounds, goal kick, corner or whether its offsides helps me answer the questions before the protests come. Adult players are going ask questions about your call/non-call. It is appropriate to speak with them professionally while the game is in play.
@@mdiddy6510 They call their quadrant, what is close (10-15 yards) outside their quadrant on their side. The center ref takes care of the diagonal and the two quadrants not occupied by the ARs. Cover this in the pregame with the other refs. Good question Diddy.

This was very helpful
Does an ar cover the entire sideline or only one half on the one side?
one half of the side they are on.
I thought they called the ball out on their entire sideline?
