  • February Lines-Person Workshop Monday 11th February 2019

    With the lack of Referees this season, we have seen a significant increase in volunteers (parents) refereeing our games. Although we are grateful that parents are stepping up to take on this very difficult role it has brought its own problems in that we are also seeing an increase in  Referee low marks and reports. 
      
    To try and alleviate some of the problems that have arisen due to an inexperienced volunteer trying to do their best  we are offering a  “Lines Person Workshop”  on Monday 11th February 2019. We believe it is vital that every 9 & 11 A side team has a volunteer that has attended this course as it will benefit all concerned.  

    We originally offered the Lines-person Course for volunteers that were kind enough to offer their services as line assistant but with more parents than ever before now having to take on the role of assistants and match official it has become vital that these volunteers attend this workshop, so they are given an insight into the Laws of Game. This will allow for consistency in match decision making.

    The workshop is one evening (3 hours) the applicant will be given a greater insight into the Laws of Game plus an official SelKent League Badge that confirms their commitment to their team.

    The lack of Official Referees is affecting every League across the Country and until this situation improves, we need and respect these vital volunteers, but for the good of the game we need them to be the best they can be. This workshop will give them confidence in their decision making, what powers a Referee has and how and when to use these powers.


    On any given Sunday we have over 250 games being played, this does not include our mini-soccer games. Since September we have between 40 to 50 Official Referees requesting games on any given Sunday, this should tell you how important our volunteers are and how serious our Referee problem is.  

    Until the FA acknowledges that Youth Grassroots Football has reached crisis point re the lack of qualified Referees this situation will not improve.

    We recognise and respect that our volunteers do not want to be a Referee, and nor do they have the time to commit to an official Referee Course the above workshop offers them some knowledge and our support all we are asking is if they will give up one evening to attend this workshop. If you are willing to help your team by offering to attend this workshop please talk to your team Manager who will ask your Club Secretary to complete your application form The application form can also be downloaded via the web site. 

    Can we ask Clubs to please try and send at least one volunteer per your 9 & 11 A Side teams to this very important workshop.
