ROO BALL REFEREE DAY CO-ORDINATOR

Arrive 7.40am

Make yourself known to the Committee Men (2) on duty & identify which one will pay the refs at completion.

Check Roo Ball Ref Evaluation Sheets are in supply & 1 is in each folder. There is a photocopier in the committee room if required. The master is in the Ref folder.

Familiarise yourself with the Roo Ball Ref Evaluation Sheets.

Familiarise yourself with games & times (see next page). Note the matches that require reconfiguration of fields – U/8s need to be a ½ field. It is the duty of the Ground Control Team to do this but they may need prompting.

Assemble refs at 7.45am

Ensure each has a pen, notepad & whistle.

Issue a shirt – they are in the Ground Control Room

Allocate a ref to each game. They can swap at half time if they are having a tough time or to share the reffing around.

Ensure ref gets Evaluation Form folder & remind them they have to get the Bosco manager (or nominee) to complete.

Ensure refs are on the field 5 mins before kick off. Encourage them to check the nets & get the match ball off the Bosco coach & call the players out about 2 mins before kick off. The games must start on time.

Spend your time between the 3 games with the “spare ref “accompanying you.

Check that there is an Evaluation Sheet at each game being completed by a Bosco team supporter.

Stand with the spare ref with you & observe the refs. Make constructive criticism & explain to the spare ref. He/she should also be completing an Evaluation Sheet for the refs (will need a folder with 3 Evaluation Sheets).

Watch for games running overtime (15 mins U/6 & U/7 - 20mins U/8)

Keep refs near fields at ½ time ensuring game restarts after 5 min half time – call players back out after 4 minutes.

Make any appropriate comments to the refs during the half time break, either specific to an individual or general to all of them.

On completion of game:

Head back to Ground Control Room & check refs complete Match Card details.

Check refs gets Roo Ball Ref Evaluation Sheets back from Bosco managers & view it with the refs individually – you could make your comments.

Ensure refs sign their Evaluation Sheet & collect them all. They should be placed in the back of this folder – each ref has a clear sheet protector.

Allocate refs to next games & start the process all over again.

On completion of the session:

Hand out Payment envelopes to refs. These are in this folder & have their name & $ amount. They take this to the Committeeman on duty to receive their payment.

They must sign for it in Roo Ball Ref Payment Book. They should sign against the entry that records name, date & amount received.

They are entitled to 1 drink at no charge.

Thanks for your co-operation.
