Evening everyone,
Just a quick update. Season's over here in Brisbane, with warmer days and post season adventures. I've signed up again to officiate at the Gold Coast Champions Cup.
I was last running around on this 7 day youth tournament in 2010, having a mini - break from Hervey Bay and looking to see how it compares with the Kanga Cup. At that time, only 1 coordinator was involved and lots of games daily and quality was average at best from a football perspective. To be clear, I did have a good tournament throughout and was given the U/18's Final in pouring rain. However there was no coaching or development, just games to referee.
Today's 20 minute meeting of officials was to sign off on appointments for Sunday and meet the coordinators (there is now 4), collect the hot pink sponsored shirt and white hat. Fees are GC levels, so I won't be making any money but its never one of my concerns. There this year to see if there is improvements, talk up Kanga Cup to potential juniors and liase with the new RDO's for Gold Coast Football.
I believe there are 4 New Zealanders attending and some others from interstate, so I'll keep you posted on performances throughout the week and hope to upload photos again to flickr.
Friday there is a need for senior referees for the 38th Croatian Football Tournament, happening just across the road effectively, so my focus may change with senior appointments likely for that event.
Are you involved in any post season events? If so, what do you think is their value?
Good refereeing if your still running around this week.
