Tom Duttle provided training focusing on foul recognition. He also reminded the group that slide tackling is not allowed for all games U08. Do not card these players but ask the coach to deal with the player and possibly substitute that player out while giving instructions. Tom also pointed out that some officials were using improper hand signals as an assistant referee. They should be using proper USSF signals with the referee flag. We also discussed the proper restart for indirect free kicks when fouls occur inside the goal box or inside the penalty area.
