I just joined my local FC's Committee and so for next year I am aiming to get Kids (or any adults for that matter) from our U11's to U16's teams to Lead/Ref a SSF game prior or after their own home game.

Last season I was ref for most my son's games on the half size field. I am also looking to taking the local Ref association's course to
a) get qualified and possibly ref adult games if short of a ref.
b) be getter an understanding so that kids that have been reffing with the club with 40+ games under their belt would be ready to take the course.

I plan to have the kids do 10 games on each size of feild and then progressing up to the next size, and myself or another committee member watching half a game they ref to make sure they are handling it ok.

I am looking for any comments or advice as to help/train the kids so that they feel ready to ref so thay our new U6 kids and parents have a better experience, and therefore come back next year.

Now over to the panel....
