Referee Confidence Tracker

You are the referee for a close school futsal match. Read each situation, make a fair decision, and track the communication skills that help an official lead with confidence. Use the NZ context: a goal is worth one point, and play restarts from the centre after a goal.

Scenario file: The final minute

With one minute left, Kauri is leading Rimu 3–2. Near the sideline, a Kauri player kicks the ball; it touches a Rimu player’s foot and goes out. The assistant referee signals a kick-in for Rimu. A Kauri player protests loudly: “That was ours!” You are five metres away and have a clear view. The restart is delayed while players argue. On the next attack, a Rimu player trips a Kauri player just outside the penalty area. The contact is careless, but there is no clear chance to score. Kauri’s captain asks for a penalty.

1.The ball went out after touching a Rimu player last. Which team takes the kick-in, and what clear signal would you give?
2.Choose the response that sets a calm, firm boundary with the protesting player while keeping the game moving.
  • “Stop talking or you’re off!” shouted while walking away.
  • “I saw it touch a Rimu player last. Kauri’s kick-in. Let’s restart now.”
  • Ignore the player and let both teams decide.
  • Change the decision because the protest is loud.
3.Write two practical body-language choices that could make your decision look confident and impartial.
4.True or false: Because the trip happened close to the penalty area, the restart must be a penalty even though it was outside the area.
TrueFalse
5.State the correct decision for the trip and give one brief explanation you could say to the captain.
6.Match each officiating action to the confidence skill it demonstrates.
  • Move promptly to a useful viewing position
  • Explain a decision in one calm sentence
  • Apply the same standard to both teams
  • Clear communication
  • Preparation and presence
  • Impartiality
7.The score is close and players are frustrated. Name one way to keep your whistle use effective without escalating the situation.
8.A referee makes a correct call but looks down, speaks too quietly, and hesitates before signalling. Explain how this could affect players’ trust, and suggest one improvement.
9.Confidence is not the same as never changing a decision. When should an official reconsider a call?
  • Whenever one team complains.
  • When new, reliable information shows the original decision may be wrong and the rules allow it to be corrected.
  • Only when the score is tied.
  • Never; changing a call always shows weakness.
10.Choose one confidence skill you will practise when officiating a PE game. Write a specific action and how you will know you used it successfully.
