February LOTG Points of Emphasis - Addressing Coaches Behavior 
Practice Advice for Referees: It's important to make a connection with coaches prior to kickoff. Use your personality as it fits and show yourself as a human being - smile, be happy, festive and approachable - show your human side.
- Talk prior to player check-in - something simple that could open up a conversation
- How was your drive into Seattle?
- How has the season been so far?
---
Match Officials must take action against coaches and team officials who fail to act in a responsible manner. That could be a verbal warning(s), caution or a sending-off.
---
Know that Referees and Assistant Referees can issue verbal warnings addressing coaches behavior for something that doesn't require a caution.
We can politely but firmly issue a warning without the need to show a card. This verbal warning can be a great tool to defuse potential conflict:
- Minor/low level disagreement by word or action with a decision
- Failing to cooperate with a match official's instruction/request
- Entering the field of play in a respectful non-confrontational way
If you are a new referee, or are new to Seattle, Register Here.
