This workshop will provide officials, coaches, players and perhaps most importantly parents the opportunity to learn more about the laws of the game, how and why they are applied and the referees options when faced with abuse. Communication and the ability to read body language and assess the temperament of a game is paramount for a referee to perform well. Thinking clearly and being able to breathe in a game are essential. But this goes both ways, the way a referee communicates with the on and off field players and club representatives, parents (at grassroots level) can set the tone for everyone else, but the players and teams also need to learn to read the referee This session will give some insight into how best to do this. What measures can be put in place, how game management can be approached, pre-match briefings (for everyone) and more. Hosted by ftballer and our specialist guests these sessions will be delivered online (but can be provided on site for full teams). Join us to understand more about communicating and reading your match officials.
