Good introduction. I expected to see confirmation/disconfirmation of a goal, though. One niggle: While these might be "all the signals you'll need as an assistant referee" for a first match, I always tell new candidates that there will be others that they will use as they advance, particularly those in the IFAB Guidelines for Match Officials, e.g., PKs, goals not recognized by the referee (i.e,. play continues), fouls in/out of the PA. I don't expect newbies to remember them, but if they know they exist, they're more likely to recognize it when other ARs do it, and incorporate it into their game.
In the US we're instructed to move to the goal line when signaling a goal kick, as opposed to the 6-yard box. Just thought the difference was interesting
@@REFSIX That’s a good question. What I was told by assessors was we need to be on the goal line to judge whether the ball has truly gone out of play or not. Why are we expected to run down to the goal line if the ball is clearly out? No clue. I like your instructions better 😂
Remember not to give a "lazy flag" - make sure your feet are together and be as confident as possible with your signals. Noticed that it wasn't done in this video but assessors definitely pick up on 'lazy flagging'.

We agree these are the basics signals to get you started. We are producing more content around the more advanced singals soon!

Little changes. What is the reasoning for staying at the goal line?

1:11 is different by UEFA rules. We aren't expected to wiggle the flag for a foul throw. Just the flag in the air, then signal for throw-in.
Thats interesting! is this written down anywhere?
keep in mind its the job as first assistant ref to control the gear of the player who wants to come on the pitch at a subsitution.

This is great advice! we want to make sure that we look as smart as possible on the line
