Go for it...
I think I need to clarify...
No I don't. You see each year I arrange a development evening for referees in my County. I find I'm recycling topics so I'm looking for new ones by asking forum users to see what they would like.I think you need to go first when you asks something like that.
* Match management (including dissent and OFFINABUS)
* "Refereeing Essentials" - basic whistle use (ie, when required, varying tones), pre-game preparation, position, signals (official and unofficial)
* Communication (both among the referee crew and with players/technical staff -- what's good, what's bad)
very good ideasOnes we're looking at trying to do here this coming off-season are as follows:
* Match management (including dissent and OFFINABUS)
* "Refereeing Essentials" - basic whistle use (ie, when required, varying tones), pre-game preparation, position, signals (official and unofficial)
* Bringing your AR game to the match (how to be an effective AR, positioning, anticipation, signalling, etc)
With those bigger topics, we're also looking at doing "mini-sessions" including:
* Managing the technical areas as AR1 (or 4th Official, we should be so lucky!)
* Communication (both among the referee crew and with players/technical staff -- what's good, what's bad)
* Arriving at the field (what to pack, communicating with your crew pre-match, warming up)
1. Positioning / Movement during fluid play - Getting that angle and not getting too wide so I'm never caught out on that 9/5 and looking at a challenge right from behind it, making sure play develops infront of me all the time rather than being in the middle of play. Working on it at the moment, and it seems to be working.
2. Mental noting Strategy? - Remembering - I've had a quite word with 2, gave the public rebuke to 7, got the captain in on 5.
3. Tempo Management - As it states. Think I'm there with this but see it in games I go and watch not used correctly which leads to game's going out of our control.
