Referee's resources

Ever wondered how to go about becoming a referee or linesman?

Well here’s your chance to find out!

Refereeing can be exciting and challenging – whether you are putting something back into the game you love, earning a bit of pocket money or wanting to referee a World Cup final!

    # Under 12 Division 1 Girls - Shout out to our U12.1 Girls team and their Coach Matt M.-> Coach Matt reports that he has a fantastic team of talented girls, who train hard each week and who did not lose a single game last season. This season the same girls have won 3 games and drawn 2 games. They love playing together and the relationships they have formed. As a Team they are currently working on: - Structure / positional play- Pass early, don’t hold the ball too long- Getting wide / playing the triangles-> Coach Matt has what he says is a simple strategy when they head out on the field and it involves 3 things…1) have fun2) intensity (1st to the ball)3) pass the ball / we play as a team-> Finally, they are always encouraging, never negative, even when a team mate makes an error. Team culture is king! # Good luck to the U12.1 Girls Team and all Balgownie teams in action this weekend.🥅⚽🥅 ... See MoreSee Less
