Refereeing seminar a success for RDP youngsters
Football NSW Referees Manager Kris Griffiths Jones along with FIFA referee Sarah Ho and John Bowdler hosted a Hyundai A-League style seminar last Monday at Valentine Sports Park which was attended by 30 enthusiastic Referee Development Program youngsters.
The day was designed to give younger referees the experience of what it was like to be an A-League referee for the day.
The day consisted of an hour and a half physical training session, followed by match incident analysis, specific refereeing training drills and the Laws of the Game video test.
Jones was delighted with the turnout and stated his push for more referees to join in on forthcoming courses.
“The day was well attended by many branches which made it great from all of us that took over the sessions.
“It is great to see young aspiring referees wanting to push themselves to the limit in getting further into their refereeing careers.
“I urge any interested referees to keep a look out on our section of the website for more courses as well as contacting your local refereeing branches if you’re interested in joining up.”
Plans have been made for a follow up seminar during the next school holidays so book early to avoid disappointment.
