Hello, first time poster and new referee.
Had my first game in the middle today at an academy U12, 9v9 with offsides. I was told prior to the game we do our own offsides. No AR's or Club assistants.
I found it really difficult to keep an eye on the offsides as well as everything else. I called some I thought were off but I imagine so I missed or didn't get right etc.i Didn't really help the players attitude towards me.
Just wondered if anyone could offer some advice on this type of scenario (particularly in terms of positioning) as I've got a few more Academy games coming up.
Thank you,
Alex.
