A side judge is like a referee in a game of football. They stand on the sidelines and watch the players to make sure they are following the rules. They have a special job of making sure the players stay in bounds, which is an imaginary line that tells them where they can and cannot go on the field. They also watch for penalties, which means when a player breaks a rule, and they help the referee make important decisions during the game. Think of them like a superhero watching over the football field to make sure everything is fair for both teams.
