And the Junior Referee Program
- Leichhardt Saints Football Club Junior Referee ProgramIn 2015 LSFC implemented the junior referee program for our U13 players, both boys and girls. The junior referees (JR’s) refereed U8 and U9 games at King George Park each Saturday morning. We are hoping to offer the JR program to the 2016 U13’s, to do so the following are needed:
JR Coordinator who is responsible for coordinating the JR schedule/ coaching sessions /JR Game day mentor/ coordinator – this role can be shared as it requires being at KG when the games are on to ensure that the JR’s get to the correct field/ know what they are doing and provide advice on refereeing. The mentor would ideally be a referee or player themselves.
If you are interested in either of these roles please contact admin@leichhardtsaints.com .Please note that it is a requirement for each JR to have a parent / adult present when they are refereeing at King George on Saturday morning for support. - Training day is scheduled for Tuesdays 6pm – 7:30pm at SSC Leichhardt Campus
- Grading is held over two (or three weeks in the case of rain) at Sydney Secondary College, Leichhardt Campus. Yes the interested players do need to attend both sessions.We do assume you will return to last years team unless graded or request a change.
