Australian Sports Commission - Officiating General Principles
This is based on excerpts from the ASC Online Learning Portal - “Introductory Level Officiating General Principles” 2015.
Self-Management
Officials need to be of strong character if they are to cope with the officiating environment in a positive
manner. It is important that officials know their own strengths and weaknesses in order to undertake
effective self-management.
Officials should be aware that their approach to officiating can influence participants’ experience and
enjoyment of the sport. (e.g. junior competitions are usually designed to focus on fun and skill development,
rather than winning.) Officials provide participants with leadership and guidance, facilitating and ensuring
that the competition is conducted in a safe and fair manner.
Qualities such as integrity, honesty, trustworthiness and respect are integral to the role of the official. The
official’s actions should be linked to these qualities, including the manner in which they behave and relate to
others prior to, during and following competition, how they present as an official and how they go about
undertaking their role.
The role and responsibilities of the official
It is important for officials to understand the important role that they play, and the impact they have on
participants and others. An official needs to display ethical behaviour at all times, and show integrity,
empathy and respect to others. Officials should be aware of the needs of various groups, including juniors,
athletes with a disability, indigenous athletes and other cultural groups. Most sporting organisations will
have policies, such as junior sport policies, member and/or child protection policies and disability action
plans that officials should become familiar with. Officials can contribute to an inclusive environment within a
sport.

Quick Tips - Working with people from a range of cultures and backgrounds
• Officials should acquire a basic understanding of cultural issues.
• Officials need to be aware of cultural sensitivities and beliefs, for example:
- direct eye contact is not regarded by some Indigenous people as an essential part of communication and shouldn’t
be regarded by non-Indigenous people as a lack of interest
- physical contact is sometimes regarded by Indigenous people as an invasion of personal space, unless friendship,
mutual respect and trust has been established.
• Officials should make it clear to participants that racist jokes, language and behaviour are not acceptable.
• It is important for officials to understand that people who are new arrivals to Australia may lack an awareness and
understanding of the sport.
• Language can act as a barrier to approaching and becoming involved in a sport. Officials should look for alternative
communication methods as necessary.
Professionalism
Officials need to communicate effectively with coaches
Officials should strive to work cooperatively with coaches. Respect between coaches and officials is
important. Officials can contribute to a good relationship with coaches by getting to know them “off the field”
and engaging in rational, fruitful discussions regarding officiating issues. Each official becomes the ‘face’ of
officiating at competitions. People often judge all officials by how an individual official behaves, hence the
need for professional and responsible approaches when dealing with coaches.
Working cooperatively with the players is important
It is important to remember that the competition in which the official is officiating is the most important
competition that day to those participating in it. Officials can gain the respect and trust of the participants by
speaking and behaving in a courteous and respectful manner, including the use of appropriate language.
Officials should be respectful towards all participants.
Working cooperatively with other officials is vital
Working cooperatively with other officials is important for a competition to run smoothly. The way that each
official undertakes their role often impacts on other officials. Aspects such as being punctual, understanding
each other’s roles, working cooperatively, sharing information, and completing their own duties are important
for an officiating team to work effectively. Officials should support each other and provide encouragement to
other officials to contribute to the officiating team.

Managing Environment
Officials need to manage the risks of officiating in competition, and abide by the legal responsibilities
expected of an official. Officials have the responsibility to enforce both the rules of the particular sport and to
abide by all relevant laws.
Officials have a duty to take reasonable care to avoid injury to participants, and this includes keeping up to
date on the rules of the sport, particularly rules relating to safety aspects. Officials have a role in identifying
potential risks and hazards in the competition environment (facilities, playing area, equipment and athletes)
and taking action to ensure that there is a safe environment for all.
Officials also have a role in managing injury and emergency situations. This may be as simple as enforcing
safety rules such as the blood rule, or more complex if a serious injury has occurred.
How can officials assist in creating a safe environment for the participants?

Spotting risks
Think about the environment you officiate in and give some thought to the types of risks you may encounter.
You may be responsible for identifying and minimising risks when you officiate. Your sport’s rules will
determine your responsibilities in this area
Quick Tips - Legal responsibilities of officials
An official has a duty to:
• enforce the rules/laws of the competition.
• protect participants.
• warn participants.
• ensure that the sport can be conducted in a safe manner.
• control and supervise the competition.

People Management
The success of an official is strongly linked to how well they manage and get on with people in the sporting
community. Effective people management skills are essential for officials working at any level of sport. The
official is involved in interacting with a wide range of people, including other officials, coaches,
administrators, participants, parents and passionate supporters.
Officials have a vital role in managing themselves, participants and others during competition. The official
sets the tone for the way in which the competition will be conducted, including the conduct of participants,
and what will be accepted or tolerated in terms of participant behaviour. Communication is an important skill
that the official needs to develop, as it plays a key role in many aspects of the official’s role during
competition.
Communication
An important ingredient in managing people is communication. Good communication is not just about
speaking well and delivering clear messages. It is about the quality of the connection between the sender of
the message and the receiver. Important aspects include:
• Confidence when communicating • Communication with a diverse range of groups
• Listening skills • Use of communication tools including voice, whistle, signals,
flags, written reports and body language
Working with other officials as part of an officiating team
Officials in many sports work as part of a team with other officials. Working together as a team is imperative
to the success of the event at hand.
Important aspects of working as an officiating team include:
• Cooperation • Communication
• Understanding each other’s roles within the officiating team

Communication Tools
Body Language
Body language is an important part of communication. It can let others know information about us, and can
alert us to the intentions of others. Officials can create a positive atmosphere with their own body language.
Think about the following:
• Make eye contact, but don’t stare or glare • Use your hands confidently when talking
• Keep your head up and smile when possible • Don’t slouch, sit up straight and relax your shoulders
• Nod when someone else is talking to indicate you • Don’t cross your arms or legs as it might make you
are listening seem defensive or guarded
Communication and listening tips
Officials need to use a range of communication styles, appropriate to each situation. There are times when
the official needs to be assertive e.g. when a participant is questioning a decision in a demonstrative
manner. At other times, the official will use a less-assertive and calm approach, such as when the
competition is being conducted in a good spirit.
It is often said that how officials ‘sell’ their decision is the most important thing. This includes the official
using:
• a strong clear voice • a confident, decisive manner
• appropriately chosen words

12 Football Federation Australia Match Official Development
Officials also need to listen effectively, so they can respond appropriately. Officials should ensure that they:
• Listen attentively • Do not interrupt
• Listen reflectively by restating in ordinary speech • Avoid emotional responses (listening stops when an
what the person said exchange becomes heated).
Officials need to communicate effectively with players
Officials need to use a range of communication styles, appropriate to each situation. There are times when
the official needs to be assertive and at other times, a calm quiet approach works best. The official needs to
use their voice effectively, by being clear, concise and confident when they speak. They also need to listen
effectively, so they can respond appropriately.
Case Study: Working with other officials
Gary is an Australian football field umpire. He is umpiring a match with two goal umpires and two boundary
umpires. The match is progressing well. During the final quarter a player has a quick kick at goal. The goal
umpire is not in good position to judge the score but the boundary umpires are standing in the correct
position behind the behind post. Gary detects that the goal umpire is unsure of the score and appears a little
flustered.
Q 7. Players are hassling the goal umpire to signal a goal. What can Gary do?

Model Answers
Q 1. What strategies can you use to ensure that you remain impartial?
The official could use some of the following strategies:
• Blocking out the comments from players, coaches and others and ensuring that they focus on what is
happening in the competition.
• Ensuring that they always behave professionally, and make decisions based on what they see, rather than
responding to pressure from others.
• Avoiding any situation that may lead to a conflict of interest.
Q 2. What are the issues in this situation, and how should Jane respond?
• The main issue is Greg potentially being alone in a car with an adult, which is not advisable.
• Jane should speak with Greg and his aunty to see if they are happy for Greg travel with her.
• Jane should ensure that there is another person travelling in the car along with Greg. This would minimise
a potential risk of harm occurring to Greg and any innuendo directed at Jane.
Q 3. How should Bill modify his approach when officiating young children?
• Bill should check if any modified rules are in place for the age group he is umpiring.
• He should remember that junior players will not have the same physical strength or skill as senior players,
so this may affect his positioning.
• Bill can assist players by offering encouragement and taking a ‘teaching’ role and try to ensure that the
young players have an enjoyable experience.
Q 4. What should Tony be looking for in his pre-match inspection?
• Inspect the playing surface - check for dangers such as broken glass, exposed sprinkler heads, or holes in
the ground. He should also check whether the ground is too wet or dry.
• Check the equipment and surrounds - including goal post padding and signage not too close to the playing
area
• Check player's personal equipment - this includes boots, pads, clothing, jewellery, nails and other
equipment.
Q 5. What should Sam do in this situation?
• Sam should keep an eye on the approaching storm, and be in contact with the ground officials who may
make the decision to stop all matches.
• Sam may need to use his own judgement about stopping the match if the weather changes rapidly.
• Sam should liaise with the team captains and explain that the match may be stopped. He should ask them
to cooperate with him and assist in getting the players to leave the ground and seek shelter if needed.
Q 6. What action should the referee take?
This should include:
• stopping the match immediately and request medical assistance.
• remain calm and show leadership to others.
• ensure that the goalkeeper is safely removed by qualified medical personnel before re-commencing the
match.
Q 7. Players are hassling the goal umpire to signal a goal. What can Gary do?
• Gary should ask the players to move away from the area and calling the goal umpire and boundary
umpires together to discuss the situation.
• The discussion should be carried out quickly and calmly, seeking input from everyone to reach the correct
decision.
• Once the decision is made and communicated, Gary needs to be alert for any player who tries to dispute
the decision or argue with the goal umpire, as he may need to take further action.

A productive teaching process is to have each skill demonstrated followed by concentrated periods of
practice. You will need an AR flag, and if possible a marked ground, or a line that can act as the touch line.
Always keep your flag unfurled when officiating.
Remember that the flag is an extension of your arm.
Maintain signals until acknowledged by the referee. Your flag offers advice it does not issue an order.
Refer to the FFA Laws of the Game publication particularly FIFA’s “Interpretation of the Laws of the Game
and Guidelines for Referees” section for images illustrating recommended positions, signals and
movements.

Nominal Time
Approximately 45 minutes.
Aims
• To identify match record requirements.
• To practise writing a match incident report.
Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this unit you will be able to:
• list all elements you need to record during a match;
• write a mock report about an incident viewed in a pre-recorded match.
When you officiate you will be required to demonstrate your ability to complete a record of the match; and
where required, submit reports to a Football Association.
The Referee’s Notebook
Referees are required to keep a record of the match, as should the assistant referees. Most officials carry a
small folder in their pocket to record the important details. They will help you to record easily what happens
and when it happens. Ask colleagues to show you examples of the formats they use and adopt or develop a
model that suits you. Alternatively, buy a commercially produced version.
