Why should I referee?
We have some qualified referees in the club but it is simply not fair to expect
them to give up their time for you on a regular basis. You get a lot from Mitcham
in terms of coaching, playing and travelling. There is a committee who work hard
behind the scenes to run the club and coaching staff who devote time and energy
to you and the other teams. We need just one hour of your time.
Enjoy it! You get an hours worth of excercise, and you get paid. It's not even that
hard. Blow your whistle and enjoy the game.
I can't referee
Practise. You are all confident enough to play the game so you have a rudimentary
grasp of the rules. No one is going to expect you to be perfect. Just blow your
whistle hard for all the obvious rules. The teams playing just want to be able to
play. They are not assessing you, you are just essential for the match to take place.
Use training to practise. Volunteer for refereeing and practise it properly., Don't
just stand on the sidelines with whistle in your mouth. Get stuck in and practise.
Remember "You are never wrong" !!!!
