   Becoming a Soccer Ref

   Intro/Welcome
   Mission
   Core Principles

   No warmup just went into explanation and the Thang.

   The Thang:
   Did a suicide ‘run’ style workout. Had an AR (Assistant Ref) side that used a smaller weight and a Ref side. 4 cones were setup and ran to first cone did reps, ran back, ran back to first cone did reps and then ran to second cone did reps and then back to the start and cycled like that until you got to the 4th cone and then went on to the Ref side which used Blocks. Once both sides were completed, ran a lap around the parking lot and restart. A couple PAX finished 2 sets and most finished at least 1.5 sets.

   AR Side:
   Cone #1: Throw-in x 10 reps (raise weight from side to a 135 degree angle, complete with both arms)
   Cone #2: Offside/Foul x 10 reps (raise weight from side to straight up above shoulder, complete both arms)
   Cone #3: Goal Kick x 10 reps (raise weight from side to a 90 degree angle in front of your chest, complete with both arms)
   Cone #4: Corner Kick x 10 reps (weight in hand tap opposite shoulder and move to a 45 degree angle pointing at the ground, complete both arms)

   Referee Side: (carry block with you throughout this side)
   Cone #1: Squats x 10 (to help with dodging a ball that’s kicked at you)
   Cone #2: Overhead hold x 10 (air press with a block but hold at the top for 5 sec. To signify a ref holding their arm up in the air for Offside or penalty call)
   Cone #3: Kettlebell Swings x 10 (signify signaling for a goal kick)
   Cone #4: Curls x 10 (signify bringing the whistle up to blow it)

   Run a lap, repeato!
