Question Number: 18798Law 6 - Assistant Referee 4/16/2008RE: Under 15 Alex of Sydney, NSW Australia asks...Can i assistant referee a club match with a cast on my left arm. Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer For me as referee, I don't want an assistant who is unable to keep up with the last but one defender or the ball whichever is nearer the goal line. I would rather have an assistant who is capable of signalling using both hands because there are times the assistant must use a "correct" hand when signalling.
You should notify your assignor of your unavailability during your recovery.
Regards,

Cheers

View Referee Richard Dawson profile Answer provided by Referee Ben Mueller Probably not! Although I have seen referees officiate that have only 1 arm or no arms. We have a referee in WI that has no arms. He only takes the referee position though and never the AR position. I have AR's for him a few times and of course, I have extra duties in that match to compensate for his disability.
