Soccer Referee Kit 2 Pcs Checkered Linesman Soccere Flags, Red Yellow Ref Cards with Notebook and Pencil,Coach Stainless Steel Whistles with Storage Bag

My husband is so excited to use these at his next men's soccer game! 😂 He said everything, "looks legit" (just like the professional soccer teams). Love that it even comes with a carrying bag. Everything is lightweight.There are 6 recording sheets. Might want to make some copies if you plan to use them often. The booklet that hold the red and yellow cards and recording sheets is made of thin plastic (similar to a plastic checkbook holder from a bank or when you order checks). So I'm not sure how long it will hold up, but this whole set is great for refs who want to go the extra mile on the field!

If you plan to buy this kit since you think you will get everything you need, think again. In the following I give you an evaluation item by item.The best item in this kit are the flags. They are similar to other referee flags you will find in the market. Both flags are identical although it is common for the two ARs to hold distinct flags. However, for youth or recreational adult leagues this is not a problem. So, you do not have to worry even if this is your starting pair of flags.The whistle is ok but soon you will need a better one. The red and yellow cards are also ok. They look like thick paper but I tried to test if I can tear them and they appear to be made of plastic. This is good since rain will destroy any paper you are using during the game.The recording paper is standard. What comes with the kit is only a sample. (That's common.) Hence you will need ,much more. You can order it in bulk quantities. However, as you get more experienced, you will also realize that you can just use blank white paper and you will establish your own code to keep notes.The wallet is very flimsy. It will not last very long. If you like to place the cards in the wallet (instead of keeping them in your pockets), you will be even more dissatisfied. The cards can easily slide out of the wallet. And it gets worse. Because the strips that are supposed to secure the recording paper in place are very narrow, the paper cannot stay really in place and you are left to hold the paper in your hand with no support to write on. Hence, it is useless and you will need another one immediately.So as a summary: If you buy this kit, you buy it basically for the flags and maybe the cards. Pay less attention to the whistle and do not place any weight on the wallet.
