Unit 22 - Assignment 2
Analyse the Performance of an Official in a Selected Sport
P4, P5, M2, D1
,Introduction
In this assignment I will observe two football match officials in a competitive game to
analyse how they apply the rules and regulations.
I will design and create my own observation checklist to enable me to observe and
assess two officials, the referee and Linesman for a football match.
Using this observation checklist, I will the assess the performance of these two officials,
identifying and explaining what areas their strengths are and which areas need
improving. I will make suggestions explaining how they can improve their performance
when officiating and justify the suggestions made. I will further consider how the
officials could improve their performance and give recommendations for their future
development.
