Providing referees for mini and junior fixtures
Girls who are currently on the referees course will be expected to referee some mini and junior boys games next season (as Joe did last season). This is not only because this will allow you to use your new skills (opportunities in purely girls games will be limited as you'll be playing at the same time in most cases) but also will be important in ensuring that the rest of the club supports us (coaching being one key area, but there are other areas as well).
We now have the mini and junior fixtures and it will be a good idea if we volunteer to provide officials for certain fixtures ourselves rather than wait to be asked and find dates clash with some important tournament we are playing in. Over the next week or so Heather will therefore be looking at both our fixture list and the mini/junior boys fixtures so she can suggest dates we can provide officials.
So if you have been on the training course she asks you to take a game on a particular Sunday morning it is important you agree to help, if at all possible.
A key early date will be 30th September when the minis are holding a big festival featuring clubs from across North Herts. Apart from being a good early chance for everyone to referee games, this festival will also be an opportunity to spot girls playing at other clubs, especially for U11 and U12, and point them towards the district girls U12 team that we will be attempting to create next season.
