The Referee is part of the court he stays on!
On a play from scrimmage, on a punt, or on a field goal, play starts when the Center snaps the ball. On a kick-off, play starts when the kicker kicks the ball. Play stops when one of the referees blows the whistle.
the play off work by rounds and levels
I belive start of play means what in England is called Kick Off which is the start of the match where the the ball is kicked to fellow team mates on the blow of the referees whistle.

Soccer games are often preceded by a coin toss, equipment and field check, and a number of other logistical matters that the referees must attend to. The game itself begins at the first kick-off, when the ball is kicked and moves forward by the team taking the kick-off (thus, the team that lost the coin toss), which cannot happen until the referee has signaled permission to begin by blowing his whistle.
his main hobby obviously is soccer but off the feild he loves to play basketball
Most NFL referees do in fact have other jobs, ranging from dairy farmer to teacher to attorney to entrepreneur/inventor. The NFL is the only major sports league in the US that does not hire referees on a full time basis and, contrary to what most people seem to believe, the pay is not amazing ($25.000-$70/000/year. Baseball refs start at $120k and top out at $300k+, plus per diem on road trip plus benefits. Basketball refs range from $100-300k plus benefits. NHL refs make $72-255k).
As the game is in progress the referee would restart play following foul play Injury stop Penalty Goal scored (kick off from centre spot) Free Kick
