Children and young people as referees
In the Power Cup, children and young people will be judging their age group. Team specific referee shifts are marked on the fixture list and it is up to the team coach / guard to decide which team to serve as referee / scorer. It is a good idea for a team adult to be in the background when needed.
Game judges are junior referees. For some, this is the first time in this role. Provide opportunities for positive experiences.
When the junior referee whistles, make sure that an adult is standing beside him. No need to intervene, give action and learn, but help when needed.
Each field has a bag containing the necessary equipment for playing and judging:
game point
blank match record and pen, in case there are problems with mobile protocol
whistle
judge vest
As a rule, referee shifts are arranged so that one or both of the teams in the match played will judge the next match on the same or adjacent court. A match can be more than just your own block game.
Ask the teams captains and coaches to check the result of the match, and be sure to end the match in the mobile protocol. If you have to use a paper protocol, record the result carefully, sign it and return it to your return area as soon as the game is over.
Power judging is fun when you remember a few basic things:
Be calm and make sure your feelings are kept under control, not just situation.
Remember to be impartial, thus maintaining your credibility.
Be resolute and make decisions / judgments as soon as possible, but don’t be hasty.
Be consistent, that is, follow the same line of judgment for both teams.
Blow the whistle as soon as you notice the violation, and then think about the right hand sign. If you don’t remember the hand sign, you can also report the violation verbally.
Review the Power Rules for your age group in advance.
The coach or guardian will be there to support you if necessary, but you will decide the verdicts.
