This is why I think you'll make a fine ref. Just shout, if you need any hints or tips, buddy. Ex-Player. Ref. Level 1 kids coach.

If you'd really like some stuff to work on in the meantime (and you're confident in your basic ability), then get hold of a copy of the Observer handbook for various levels (even the one for Level 2B to 4). Plenty of more advanced stuff in there for you to consider introducing into your game ....Did my level 1 too (coach for 6 years). I know I'm decent enough for grass roots but it's a different game away from the parks and pub league's. I had coaches telling me what to do for 25 years. Sometimes
Did my level one too (coach from u10-u16). Without being arrogant I think I'm more than adequate to referee Sunday league and most amateur football. I'd like to eventually try for level 5 and above and it's a completely different game at that level. All the things I'm doing now might be completely inadequate at a higher level. I just need that guidance about positioning and certain procedures (both during and pre match). Observations are something I want and I'm not bothered even if they're ultra critical. I'd like some things to work on (not just lotg).

Erm, try the Resources section of this very same forum.I’d be interested to have a read of that too. Any idea where I can find one? on here somewhere? (sorry to butt in but I’m eager to improve too)
Thought so. Ta.Erm, try the Resources section of this very same forum.
Agreed.
The only one close to that, that I ever use is if I shout "hands down" if I see a bit of arm duelling that I feel might progress into having to award a free kick (but which way?).
