FRIDAY NIGHT GAMES

Last season re provided teams of three for at least 7 Friday night games. All the matches were a minimum of level 6 and we appointed our best referees and a selection of AR’s of varying experience and ability. This season we are going to continue providing officials for these games but this season they will all have had more appropriate training.

To be selected you must;

1. Be available on most Friday nights and be able to get to the majority of grounds by about 6pm.
2. Pass the fitness test for your current grade.
3. Attend an inhouse course (date to be confirmed) which will concentrate on working in a team of three, using the coms kit etc.
4. To be a referee be graded at level 6 (may also be used as AR1)
5. To be AR1 be a minimum of level 7
6. AR2 can be less experienced but should be someone who has the potential to reach at least level 7

IT IS HOPED THAT SPONSORED KIT WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE TEAMS OF THREE.
