JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT:



REFEREEING:

(Adam) Total of 3 Intro to Refereeing Courses now undertaken. 15 people at Lions, 15 at Uni, and about 10 at Vikings (I say about, as everyone who turned up at training joined in the classroom bit, and about 10 did some reffing); given a total of 40 people. No intention to organise anymore this season. Huge thanks to Gary C, Chris W, Martin B and Toby P who helped make these happen.

First Theory session/test with Andy. 12 people registered. 10 turned up. 7 passed. Passes by club were 1x Phoenix, 2x Vikings, 4x Tigers.

Second Theory session/test to be arranged shortly. Will be in Ely (can get a free venue). Lions have asked that this isn’t on a Tuesday. This is the next on my list.

Will work with Andy to ensure some practical assessments for those that want to proceed at this stage. Costs kept to a minimum and without any CKA funding. Suggest going forward that we make a small allowance in budgets, as its hard for one organiser to chase down 6 different clubs for payment of a few pounds.

(Martin Brown) There have been 4 referee no shows : Chris Brown covered a V3? Match, Steve Grant covered U1 vs V3, I (Martin) covered a match but can't remember the details and Laura covered T2 v V1.

Lions can offer referees practice at their last training sessions (Tuesdays 8-9.30 pm) in each month. Please contact Lions in advance.

There was a discussion about Uni covering their refereeing commitments. This was not put on the agenda as Uni were unable to make the meeting. Uni are asked to come up with a plan with targets and dates of how there are going to work towards developing referees in order to cover their commitments.

CPO:

Nothing to report.



1. THANKING REFEREES AFTER MATCHES

(Howard) We have established routines for captains shaking hands with each other and the referee before a match and players shaking hands before and after matches, but there’s no custom for thanking the referee after the match. I suggest we agree something and establish it, ingraining it in the culture.

Following further discussion – agreed that it would be good practice for captains to shake the referees hand post match.










NEXT MEETING

AOB

(Phil) Club health (EKA) highlighted issues and is encouraging people/clubs to get on board to grow and develop.
