Referees Meetings

All referees encouraged to join the referee training nights on certain Wednesdays. In program:

• Law discussions & tests
• Informative Dvd's about all aspects of refereeing
• Administrative info
• Q's & A's
• Free discussion about anything that has hapened to you or to your colleagues in the games

You will learn something every time and every time you learn something you will become just a little bit more confident on the field and will enjoy and perform better as a referee. It also shows your commitment to refereeing and helps you to become a recognised member of our large group.
