I've been a referee for years, after experiencing events, here's my bag:
In the bag is a large trash bag. It acts as a liner. I keep my drinks and suntan lotion between the liner and the bag. These things make a mess (condensation/bursts) inside the bag and wet days can ruin interior stuff. There's an extra trash bag and paper towels in bag. Name tag inside and outside.
All the colors of shirts, badge issued by organization (or other or none depending on match), three whistles (one for game, one for backup, one for other ref if I'm injured or another field has a ref needing one), lots of pens!, two sets of cards (y/r on self and spare in bag), two watches worn, one pocketpouch for keeping score and usually holds the cards.
Another pocket pouch for notes (write things to remember, things learned, and other notes), coins, carry two during game and extra in bag.
Have the pouches, pens, and coins in each pocket (get shirts with sealed pockets...unsealed and your pockets empty on the field)...same with short pockets.
Flags (whether I'm the center or assistant), laws of the game (I have a printout measuring 5x8) and any specific league modifications, phone numbers of my assignor and emergency numbers, airpump and needles (if a ball needs air let the owner inflate it, dont do it yourself...if it explodes you understand why), air gauge if the league demands such scrutiny, first aid kit, safety pins (if you ever lost the elastic in your shorts).
Hats, with and without soft visor, gloves that allow you to write with them on, underarmor is great, extra dry socks, if your shoes are worn, better be prepared with another pair,
A lot of clear zip-plastic bags to hold all your stuff separately in bag (I use several one-gallon bags). I like to designate one of these to hold all the things I need for THE game.
Dark, hardshelled, sealable bag to hold my wallet, keys, payment if received during game, cellphone.
Dont forget game reports, if required.
If you are the AR, suit up like the center.
I have been to games where the center is injured and you switch places. If the center's watch stopped, you should know the time on your own watch. Keep track of score too by writing it down.
Write down things you see, learn, take notes.
Be as prepared for the game as the center.
In my referee bag I have two pairs of Referee socks, all 5 jerseys, yellow/red cards, Flags, my toolbox, extra shorts, a trash bag and rain Poncho, and the best part, I have the Vanishing Spray too
Besides the other items mentioned below (sunscreen, large trash bag) I also always have a small towel and a pump with an extra needle so if the game ball is not inflated enough I can inflate it myself and not rely on the coaches to have a pump.
I agree, esp. volunteer coaches. Paid ones tend to remember a pump.
Note: let the owner pump their own ball. If it explodes, let it be on them. Especially youth games. No kid wants their ball destroyed by the ref. Let the coach or parent do it
Am very impressed with you all the time keep it up please.
Keep posting, man, great videos
More to come!
@@RefereePOV No Offense But I don’t the green referee Jersey. That’s just my Opinion.

I always wanted to be a ref do you think I’ll become a ref when I’m older everone says I wint
Am requesting for more ideals in refereeing please.
What if goalkeeper kick a player inside the box area is it plenty
Most scenarios yes, but some it could be no foul.
Woch type of whistle do you use?
Where can we fine whistle..
What about watches?
Me personally, I bring two watches, one with REFSIX and the other one is just a normal digital watch with a stopwatch feature.
sir this is manzoor from India sir a man is in offside position ball tech to the againts team playear & he scored is it offside or Goal
What is a coin for
Coin flip at the start of the game, to decide who has kickoff and which way to attack.
Sir are you training football
What do we do if our assigner is not responding?
I recommend very politely messaging them again and if they still aren't replying you can call them. Send me a DM on Instagram and let me know how it goes
How many yellow cards makes a red card?
2 yellows make a red
You have forgotten something: Which watches do you use and why. Maybe that will be nice to kniow.
Hey Peter, me personally I bring two watches, one is my Apple Watch with the REFSIX app, and the other is just a normal digital watch with stopwatch, I have Casio W800H as its fairly cheap (around $100 AUD), hope this helped.
@@trap8776 Thank you for the information. Good luck to your games as referee and to be a referee in this time of the world

Where can I buy this stuff
If you did the referee course there is a section for buying the stuff. But you can ask your local club for extras or if the got stuff for you.
where do i get the cards
I think he has in his bio
Please make a yellow card video similar to your red card one. please keep posting because i really enjoy these videos
Thanks for the idea!
Boots?
I wear tennis shoes and already have them on when I get to the game. Great observation 👍🏼
I wear turf shoes, especially for matches on astroturf. Cleats get stuck. If you're on grass, turf works well and gives traction. I tried sneakers and slipped to much. If sneakers, make sure they can grip.
Why do referees like wearing this old design black Adidas boots😂
Its apart of referee code to wear predominantly black clothing such as shorts, socks, armbands, hats at the local level and yes, shoes.
