To
All Referees, Firstly, thank you for your support during the season. It
has been a pleasure to have you assist with Morning grade games. We are
well aware also of the huge support that families give us as we
disappear every Saturday so also please pass on our gratitude for their
commitment.
As you may be aware one of our referees Terry Long is involved with the Mellowpuff Charitable Trust for Taranaki kids with Cancer.
To
Raise awareness of this cause referees will wear special socks on
Saturday as they officiate at finals. Wearing these socks is a personal
option, and by no means compulsory but would be a really great way to
acknowledge the involvement of this exceptional trust in the community.
The socks will be available in the Tukapa clubrooms on Saturday Morning,
Regards and Thanks
Joe and Lionel

Lets get kicked off on time . . .
A
reminder to referees about getting games kicked off on time. When
talking with team managers and captains prior to the game, remind them
they need to be on the field and ready to kick off at the time
prescribed, not just leaving the changing rooms then.
This is part
of our role to ensure that happens. Often other games may on that field
after , or referees are required to run touch.
Often you will
need to be running teams onto the field from their changing rooms with
sometimes up to 5 minutes beforehand, as it can take that long for them to
finally come out, or it can take that long to make it to the field. |
