Kanga Cup 2017<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
Figured I'm overdue for my annual pre Kanga Cup teaser, so no time like the present.<br />
<br />
Kanga Cup records continue to fall, with again a record number of teams registered (386 teams, 146 minis or small sided teams, 240 junior teams)<br />
<br />
Currently 50 referees attending the Academy - not a record in the history of the Interstate Referees group but a marked increase on last 3 years. 44 are from out of town (SA and NT are missing this year, poor showing guys), 6 from Canberra. <br />
<br />
First time welcoming referees from Portugal ("<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bem vindo a Canberra" </span></span>Ricardo, attending with our European Coach Alberto), Hong Kong (Thomas, William and Iiya)<br />

<h3>
Top Five Kanga Cup <span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Hot </span>Tips</h3>
Here's five items to add to your to-do list prior to commencing travel in 9 days time.<br />
<br />
# 5. <b>Availability </b>- Ensure your Schedula availability for the weekend prior and following Kanga Cup is showing as Not Available - Appointments officers have a tough enough job without you forgetting to block your time away out of local games. If you have a different system, today is the time to drop your appointments officer or coach an email telling them your unavailable as many of these games are already in draft form for the dates of the tournament. And DO NOT even consider taking games on the 8th/9th July - you won't be recovered fully until several days later and again don't want to get on the bad side of your appointments officer after a great week at Kanga Cup with a last minute injury / I'm too tired excuse.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAcLUxIQzbTMtuR2gHGvKrmng0hEHjc_pLCzPqfizwuduaB4GIYwHN3b9afXsvD00r7wEJ9Nx3OWoIXoYPgYM26GAxzNqlISjCVBde_XKwDhvgSlMinIkfTfiLHc3d76BQ3Q6-9iY02g/s1600/Schedula+unavailable+photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="367" data-original-width="1237" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAcLUxIQzbTMtuR2gHGvKrmng0hEHjc_pLCzPqfizwuduaB4GIYwHN3b9afXsvD00r7wEJ9Nx3OWoIXoYPgYM26GAxzNqlISjCVBde_XKwDhvgSlMinIkfTfiLHc3d76BQ3Q6-9iY02g/s640/Schedula+unavailable+photo.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
#4. <b>Fitness </b>- don't get injured or sick during the next 10 days - enjoy you warm up and consolidate your fitness program that you've been working on in the lead up - Kanga Cup is a journey, not a sprint and you need to be at your best physically.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RP9_8I2t4gU/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RP9_8I2t4gU?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<span id="goog_1094514113"></span><span id="goog_1094514114"></span><br />
<br />
#3. <b>Warm Clothing</b> - remember it's cold in Canberra and potentially wet during match days, so bring extra referee shirts / boots, beanie, thermals, refs waterproof jacket (if you have it or try and borrow it this week).<br />
<br />
#2. <b>LOTG </b>- Do yourself a favour and re-read the entire book this weekend - treat it as a mid season refresher, as Kanga Cup will test you (not literally), but a strong knowledge of the Laws of the Game will make a difference to your tournament experience. Whether it's debating points of law during nightly coaching sessions, on the field of play explaining to foreign teams or just to bring your best self as a potential future Elite referee, take on some responsibility for your development and sharpen up on Law before the event.<br />
<br />
and the #1.<br />
<b>Journey </b>- I talk a lot about Kanga Cup Referees and the Academy on this blog being more than just another tournament - it's really a journey and for most attending from interstate, just the start of their refereeing adventures outside of local junior league football. It might be your first time away representing yourself, your branch / zone, your city or country. Come prepared to work hard / play hard and perhaps cry when it's all over. You'll make new, strong friendships you didn't expect, connections to elite referees you'd otherwise not meet, insider information on what it takes to be "the best" and experience where refereeing could take you if you have the ambition, motivation, talent and resilience to pursue your dreams. It's a time and a place along your Journey, perhaps for some a "rite of passage", for others it's just a fun week in Canberra they'll fondly remember years down the road.<br />
But remember, it's not the destination - that's up to YOU.<br />
<br />

Well I'm setting new records this year in KCRYA history, finally leaving Canberra this morning in the company of Yr 6 students from my school after a second week at the AIS. I've finally seen most of Canberra's historic locations (laser tag must be in the schedule next year) and skied at Mt Selwyn yesterday on a 20cm base. Exhausted but content I figured some post Kanga observations as we return to our normal, weekend passion.<br>
<br>

<br>
Whilst I tried hard to get everything up on <a href="http://Flickr.com/ausref">Flickr</a> last weekend it isn't complete and hopefully will get done this weekend. Paul's early photos and some random ones will be added to the 2900 photos already there, another KCRYA record.<br>
<br>
The social side of Kanga is one of its best features I believe, allowing everyone current and Alumni to share the experience, reconnect and reflect on their achievements. I was really please this year with the local sharing of photos within the Academy, even if it took a few days to configure correctly. I always enjoy the technology challenges, even if I've created them myself.<br>
<br>
Its those connections you make at any tournament or intensive experiential program that you really take home with you. In a years time you wont remember which games you did, how many sanctions you gave out or where you put your KangaCup scarf. You'll remember the faces, some of the names and how you connected with them.<br>
<br>
I really felt it this year with my 10th year being acknowledged by Capital Football. All those faces and memories being shared as I looked back to try and connect the 2016 Coaches with those that have gone before, trying to learn from history and not repeat mistakes. Tradition I guess plays its part, or perhaps its just nostalgia.<br>
<br>
Particularly it was full circle with the visit of Kanga Alumni Chris Beath and Jarred Gillett, two of the best in both their refereeing careers and in just who they are as people. <br>
<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghALuS1xTuIPuq_PTIi5LCxGpuB6Mo8IfIk9n2ult9Dv6e3c_MVVs6Va1Yb-JsVgQ35h3Nym5vQVDg4QHPp8ro2KTzLNKs0wAp25YRoSunFFVo0hkdZY_W7yfQkNs3oZwyEKlabCtrjQ/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghALuS1xTuIPuq_PTIi5LCxGpuB6Mo8IfIk9n2ult9Dv6e3c_MVVs6Va1Yb-JsVgQ35h3Nym5vQVDg4QHPp8ro2KTzLNKs0wAp25YRoSunFFVo0hkdZY_W7yfQkNs3oZwyEKlabCtrjQ/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br>
<br>
They both attended Kanga as youth referees, most likely before they had been noticed as #futureelite under the guidance of Norm Armstrong from Football Brisbane. Norm was an amazing coach with a real passion for youth development in terms of your refereeing abilities and equally in helping young people grow to become good people. He served 11 years as assessor, coach, bus driver, counsellor, chief librarian, friend and mentor to many #futureelite, referees and coaches equally. I believe he would have been proud to see his Brissie boys returning as Professional Referees and inspiring role models to the current version of the Academy, quietly taking some pride in that connection from 15 years prior. But being Norm, he'd never acknowledge it.<br>
<br>
So whilst you return this weekend to your regular local junior or senior leagues, hopefully taking renewed energy and drive to improve, learn, share, excel, doing Portuguese warmups <br>
<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24JyGegI1Y2HuUk0373I3Y6Kzek5nWQ-AzjqDR8Cma2XyyXexaRz6dFrTLamk-R1sC3xgNUbD9TANuLWvQFPfMs0X-TzwDFyU-oofYqOC4RgBwcLhT7GiR-sijGRbz7vWiKH30hh1_w/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24JyGegI1Y2HuUk0373I3Y6Kzek5nWQ-AzjqDR8Cma2XyyXexaRz6dFrTLamk-R1sC3xgNUbD9TANuLWvQFPfMs0X-TzwDFyU-oofYqOC4RgBwcLhT7GiR-sijGRbz7vWiKH30hh1_w/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"></a><br>
<br>
or even just sharing KangaCup memories with curious , skeptical colleagues, remember your now part of a larger socially conscious and connected family. And your connected to Chris and Jarred, because of Norm<br>
<br>
<a href="http://youtu.be/TcxZSmzPw8k">6 Degrees of Separation</a><br>
<br>
So please remember, not everyone will understand your time in the Academy. You just sometimes need to be "in the room" to understand and appreciate what KCRYA means, both in how improved your refereeing skills and knowledge is, but more importantly in how you're a different young person as a result of making these connections.</div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><br>

But with patience and time, your local coaches and sceptical collegues will see the positives.<br>
<br>
As time and distance increases from KangaCup 2016, the stories will be retold, embellished a little more each time and perhaps your journey will bring you back someday as a Guest presenter to eager young minds. You just never know....</div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><br></div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">REMINDER - if you want a voice in improving the Academy and KangaCup experience for #futureelite fill in Alasdair's feedback form sent out this week<br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's that time of the year, when I dig into blogger and return to my forgotten child (this blog) to try and generate some Kanga Cup excitement within the refereeing family.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a busy few weeks with many emails and communication about the planning and schedule of the Academy flying between the regular coaches and the new KC Referee Coach Coordinator Andrew Higginson. Andrew is a Capital Football local referee and coach / assessor and has stepped into the role with lots of energy and new ideas for the 2016 tournament.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some key teasers I can share at this stage</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">30 Academy Referees attending - still looking for more as of two days ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">12 Coaches in attendance, plus a bigger Capital Football admin crew all staying at the Australian Institute of Sport</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Recovery sessions nightly supervised by NZ FIFA Fitness Instructor Greg Gallop</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2 new venues from 2015 - Downer and Charnwood but losing Kaleen - ahh the memories....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This years Presenters are the best in the business and is a reflection of the value this Academy has become in development of young referees</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Allyson Flynn</b> (FIFA Assistant Referee, off to the Olympics in Rio), </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<br />

<br />
I figured it was time to revisit the blog and generate some early pre-season excitement and to post again, first time since August.<br />
<br />
Lots of internet lists around new year resolutions are no doubt filling your social media feeds, but I figured few if any are football referee focused, so here's my try at it.<br />
<br />
In no apparent order:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Get back into shape for matches - pre-season games commenced in December for some local leagues here, so it'll only get busier in the coming weeks. If you tend to put on weight due to Christmas festivities and lazy weekends, it's easier to work on getting back to your ideal weight before the season commences and it'll take time and dedication.<br /></li>
<li>If you don't have the advantage of a group training session, put some of that Christmas money (from your distant relatives) towards a decent fitness watch. I recently purchased a Garmin Fenix 3 and loving the features of having a training program that motivates me to do daily solo runs towards a set goal twelve weeks hence. Along with the relevant food tracking apps and heart rate monitor, it's helping to keep me on a diet and setting some short term goals in terms of personal fitness.<br /></li>
<li>Review where your career progression is going and compare it to what the FFA currently provides as a structure in the <a href="http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/misc/referee-resources/zc7bxc69a3cq1lzfl713myr88" target="_blank">Australian Officiating Development Schedule</a>. Make a plan for this season, goals if you must as to where you'd like to be in 9 months (The Finals). But be realistic about your experience and age - talk with your peers, your mentors and coaches for advice and guidance as each state / competition zone tends to apply different rules or requirements for progression. But have somewhere to aim for beyond just earning your winter income and saving up for that PS4 game.<br /></li>
<li>Be a big picture thinker and make goals for 2 seasons, 5 seasons and 10 seasons down the road. Again be realistic and <a href="http://footballrefereeing.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/psychology-for-referees-performance.html#.VojMGfl95D8" target="_blank">SMART</a> about them.<br /></li>
<li>Re-register with the FFA - no doubt your local branch / regional coach will drop you a reminder soon, but you cannot referee in 2016 without it and you'll not be appointed by your appointments officer without it to pre-season fixtures.<br /></li>
<li>Watch lots of Aleague if you can - there is lots to learn from watching (but not always listening to the commentary) whether your live at the ground or on TV. They are the best in the country and are the standard your seeking to emulate down the road.<br /></li>
<li>Attend your local seminar for this years changes and to re-establish your network. Three months have passed since September finals and you may have been (couch) surfing / chasing cricket balls or been mixing it up with those strange indoor football types in the off season. Getting back together at the annual seminar is both factual and a chance to renew friendships, catchup with mentors and assessors and put your face about. Consider it social networking without a tablet<br /></li>
<li>Find your referee bag, look into the bottom and find the 2015 LOTG and have a read (or view the updated 2015/2016 <a href="http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/misc/referee-resources/zc7bxc69a3cq1lzfl713myr88" target="_blank">online</a> if you prefer). No doubt you'll experience the "surprise" Laws quiz at the seminar and the sooner you remind yourself of the ins and outs of Law 12 the less stressed you'll be when this occurs. I found this Football West <a href="https://laws.myfootballclub.com.au/">LOTG</a> interactive site, whilst aimed at Level 4 candidates, has good quality video and is interactive - give it a go.<br /></li>
<li>As part of this Law revision, lots of usage is now made of Video assessment - you know, watch this video and decide if it's a Foul / Play On / Penalty / YC / RC. So here's some current internet resources you should download (some are very big, so check your internet quota) and watch - much more fun than just reading the LOTG<br /></li>
<li><a href="http://labhipermedia.net/descargas/">Current FIFA level Videos</a><br /></li>
<li><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lq60lvs8tkydz7g/AAA4lRSa3QUzGBckH4WDVZ0sa?dl=0&s=sl" target="_blank">Current FFA Teaching Videos</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
As for me, I'm planning on updating the blog site and being more of a regular poster, taking lots of photos for positive social media presence (and fun for me with my new Sony A6000) for officials and continuing studying and working part time. And of course continue to referee (for enjoyment and fitness) and encourage junior development / recruitment where I can.<br />
<br />
What are your New Year Refereeing goals for 2016?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.kangacup.com/" target="_blank">Kanga Cup</a> is only 181 days away - is that one of your goals for 2016?<br />
<br />
And to finish, some Peanuts themed wisdom from Kid President just because it's fun.<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
Well it's late into Wednesday night, but I figured a quick post from tonight's Senior referee meeting, where the Finals referees were announced. 29 Referee Final appointments from 179 senior referees, it was a tough job by Ted and the Coaching Panel with stronger performances from the lower "weekend warriors" this year making their job more difficult. A great problem to have in a refereeing branch anywhere.<br />
<br />
So here's the list, with changes only likely if referees become unavailable. A few Kanga Alumni noted and if they were involved last year, what game is indicated. <br />
Assistant Referees to be appointed.<br />

Congratulations to everyone selected and best of luck to all Third teams over the Semi Finals and Finals in the coming weeks. Great to again see KangaCup Alumni featuring in the Brisbane Finals and progressing well in National panels in the coming NYL season.<br />
<br />
How has your end of season been? Did you get the finals appointments you deserved or were you surprised? Did Kanga Cup participation have a effect on your final 6 weeks of the season?<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your stories....<br />
<br />
Enjoy your finals<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Numbers on this panel are down from last season (43), due primarily to a restructure and reduction of the NYL to just ten rounds and consequently as a developmental phase a smaller group is necessary. This restructure is clearly inline with the recently announced <a href="http://www.wholeoffootballplan.com.au/">20 year plan</a>, where the NYL's place in the competition structure is aligned under the NPL as the 2nd tier of football in Australia and as a stage of development, not necessarily just a step below the Aleague panel. So perhaps those not on the reduced list need to concentrate on NPL matches?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The 4ths panel drops down from 10, with effectively 1 per state. Analysis of this group is difficult, as the top 11 referees are effectively a strong group with many years ahead of them and certainly several have goals to achieve higher games in AFC and FIFA in the next few years, so this panel may need to be patient. But with only 8, they are likely to be kept busy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With 8 FIFA Referees and 13 FIFA Assistant Referees currently in the ranks in both Aleague and Wleague competitions, the quality of the game facilitation in the coming year is in good hands.</span><br />

It's amazing what triggers you to start looking back inorder to look forward. <br />
Whilst reviewing the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ausref/sets/72157656429367130">Flickr</a> feed of old pictures for some of David London I noticed, not for the first time, that nothing existed from 2010. No album, no pictures on my current or last laptop and so I started digging around old USB drives and came upon a treasure trove of now dated but interesting pictures from five years ago.<br />

<br />
And what a year it was - the Carotel Year I like to call it, or they year we went missing in north Canberra. It had it all - Peter Walton, who was still on the English Premier League visited, mentored and stayed with the group, including a star performance covering a <a href="http://www.capitalfootball.com.au/sites/default/files/file/Kanga%20Cup%20Newsletter%20-%20Kanga%20Cooee%20%233.pdf">U/11 SSG game</a> - it really happened.<br />

This year included the first visit from a foreign referee, Luke Grinstead from the UK. Couldn't find any pictures of Luke in the ones I've found, but I'm certain they're out there somewhere. <br />
<br />
Certainly a year for many highs and some lows I won't mention here, but it's interesting to now look back 5 years at the faces and think about where you were then and where you are now. <br />

I asked this same question to the QSS U/12's State Championship referee group in Brisbane two weeks ago (sucker for referee camps). For most of them it was their first time away representing their region and participating in a live away tournament. The question on the last night was, where do you see yourself in 5 years with your refereeing?<br />
Many of the answers were positive, some uncertain and a few perhaps will need some review along the way. But they all had a excited vision, a goal to work towards and for many of them, 5 years is perhaps too long into the future, almost another quarter of their lives yet to be lived. But it passes quickly.<br />
<br />
So my question today, whilst I reflect on memories of people and places, have you realized your dreams and goals from 2010? Or if that's too far away, finals are just around the corner for most of us - will you get the final / semifinal game you expected / deserved this year? Was there a definite goal / desire and commitment to get that outcome reached this season? Did you seek excellence this season, or was it just another year refereeing?<br />
Or is it still on the bucket list? And if so, why?<br />
<br />
As Stevie sang, there's only five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes...how do you measure a year?<br />

David joined the adult assessing crew from 2008, along with his son Matthew participating as a referee from the Hunter Valley branch of Northern New South Wales.<br />

David's time with the Academy included the transitional period, where the referees attending Kanga Cup went from being a social event with some refereeing during the day, the away years travelling at the Scots College / Carotell to 2011 when it became an Academy structure with improvements in educational values and under David's sometime firm teaching hand a more professional approach to referee development and administration began.<br />

David's influence was most notable at O'Connor fields, a venue he made his own with many SSG and U/12's taking place, usually in the role of Referees Coordinator. His friendly, calm personality allowed strong bonds to form with the tournaments star teams, notability Adelaide City and Shingok, with the team's coaches always remembering to say Hi and handshakes all round each year they played at O'Connor and enviably during the finals.<br />

Well it's finally happened, after ten years of work to get him here by Ted Kearney, Mark Clattenburg has landed and was in the QSAC Javelin meeting room earlier this evening in Brisbane, mixing it up with the local Football Brisbane senior referees during their regular July Coaching night.<br />

A good turnout of 70 local referees arrived early and filled the venue, in anticipation of both seeing and hearing from Mark, who flew up from Melbourne today after last nights #ICC match. <br />
<br />
Mark's schedule whilst here is action packed - His presenting a day long seminar Thursday at the Sleeman Sports Centre to a capacity crowd of referees (with participants from New Zealand and across Australia flying in)<br />

Friday has Mark attending the U/15 <a href="https://queenslandschoolsport.eq.edu.au/Sportsinformation/Sportsag/Pages/Football-13-19-years.aspx" target="_blank">Queensland Schools State Titles</a> at Tivoli, no doubt creating some excitement for the Future Elite referees in the making. He has an official dinner engagement then a Charity Golf Day on Saturday, resting up for Sunday's big game at Lions Stadium 4pm.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tonight Mark took part in drawing out the Assistant Referees and 4th Official for the match from within the Select Group of referees in Brisbane, an excellent experience for those selected to work with someone at the top of their game in the EPL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whilst tonight's meet and greet was very informal and Mark wasn't expected to be presenting, he was still keen to get involved in the discussions about "The A in Assistant Referee", facilitated by Ashley and helping groups to determine what "Great" assistant referees roles look like.</div>

His insights (and a few EPL stories) provided both fresh perspectives to many in the room and contained very down to earth advice, even indicating at one point that "Keeping it Simple" is his takeaway from the evenings discussions and debate. Really great to see that even though his one of the biggest names in the Football family, his really approachable and willing to be involved at grass roots level on a Wednesday night in suburban Brisbane with some of the local "weekend warriors".</div>

Welcome to Brisbane Mark, enjoy your stay and have a great game on Sunday - I think the biggest group there will be cheering for the #thirdteam</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And big shoutout to Ted and his friendship with Mark in getting him in the room - it's my biggest takeaway tonight (aside from this blog post / lots of pictures). </div>

It's the enduring nature of the positive relationships and strong friendships we all can make as referees during our journey around the field that has allowed Mark's visit to occur (and of course the ICC tournament helped).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many of the strongest memories in my life are around the highs and lows of refereeing, almost always shared by supportive #thirdteam members, coaches, mentors and friends, who without being a refereeing colleague our paths would never have crossed.</div>

I believe many peoples interactions with Mark during the next few days will make a significant positive difference in their careers and ideas around officiating, in not in their life generally, whether your next on the FIFA list, fighting for attention as a Possible or Probable or just enjoying the Sunday City League tussle weekly. And that is the REAL value in why we do what we do every weekend.</div>

Thanks Ted for inviting your friend and using your network, it'll be a weekend to remember.</div>

<br />
Been a while since I visited the blogging world, busy with life I guess. But as they say "we're back baby" for a bigger and better KangaCup 2015 or #KangaCup25 (it's the 25th occasion of Kanga Cup), so I'm trying to attempt to get it trending this week.<br />
<br />
Busy day as always and it's already late, so just a few shoutouts of significance for those playing along at home<br />
<br />
Everyone arrived safe, with referees from New Zealand taking the scenic route via Melbourne - pictures to follow when Smithy gives them to me in the morning<br />
<br />
Longest traveled referee goes to Oskar, from Hong Kong via William <a href="http://www.scmp.com/author/william-lai" target="_blank">Lai</a>, coaching alumni and regular "visitor" on Grand Final Friday. Rumor has it William will make an appearance on Thursday - your coaching sheets are ready William and we expect minimum of 10 before lunch completed please... Oskar is the first international referee back to the tournament in several years and seems to be fitting in already, so Welcome. <br />
Bonus points for anyone who can name the last international (NZers don't count) referee.<br />
<br />
A visit and tour to the Australia War Memorial before dinner, some fun icebreakers at the AIS involving skittles and Post-it notes (bill in your tray Alasdair) then back for the obligatory and now traditional 2014 in Review video - Lots of photobombing in 2014 by a cast member of the upcoming Mary <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1618300591736893/?ref=22&feed_story_type=22&action_history=null" target="_blank">Poppings</a> and references to coffee consumption, plus the sound was double speed so it was the House version. I'll post when I've fixed the spelling errors, thanks David<br />
<br />
Pictures on <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ausref/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> as normal, thanks to Scott Ferguson <a href="http://www.ausref.com/" target="_blank">www.ausref.com</a> for continued support of a photographic archive of Kanga Cup referees going back 11 years, unprecedented in youth tournament history.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we get to catch up with old friends from Capital Football and make new ones at the annual seminar, technical training (I'm running some sort of chasing the ball thing???), some shopping opportunities then onto the opening ceremony at the Stadium - I hope to live stream the event via <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.periscope.android&hl=en" target="_blank">Periscope</a> whilst my hotspot lasts, so join us sometime after 3pm for all the action. First time trying it, so I believe you can watch via a web browser live if you don't have the app or download the app and join the conversation. Follow me on the Twitter link @KangaCupRef<br />
<br />
Guest speaker to be confirmed, details tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Excited to be back and it's looking to be another great, if not cold week here in Canberra.<br />
<br />
39 referees, 8 interstate / international coaches, 2 Capital Football coaches, 1 Capital Football Logistics guru all tucked up asleep - as am I in 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
Might get up early and watch the Womens World Cup 3rd playoff at 6am - go England<br />

Hot off the presses from official sources Chris Beath (AUS, Kanga Cup Alumni) will officiate Match 13 Bahrain v UAE in Canberra tomorrow at 5pm AEDST. Chris was originally just appointed as 4th official and was on Ben Williams first game IRN v BHR on Jan 11. No word yet on who is in his crew, update to follow. Congratulations to Chris, no doubt he'll do a great job.<br />

I briefly met the Saudi Arabian crew Monday afternoon as they were heading out for the stadium Jordan v Iraq. Very excited and a friendly bunch, shaking all the volunteers hands present in the foyer. It was great to see such a relaxed team just so happy to be here taking part.<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures from the <i>cheap</i> seats taken in the lead up to the match<br />

Another game today but my alternate is working this one, but hope to get more pictures and impressions after Friday's Iraq v Japan blockbuster and also will have some more reports from the Australia game<br />
<br />
Hope everyone's enjoying their Asian Cup referee spotting<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Well it's the <a href="http://www.afcasiancup.com/home/en/">AFC Asian Cup</a> already - where did that time go?? A few days ago the panel of referees and assistant referees was released and 14 referees (3 reserve), 26 assistants (4 reserve) was released onto the <a href="http://footballrefereeing.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/afc-asian-cup-2015-australia-match.html#.VKzOmCuUd8E">net</a>. So given we have a rare opportunity to see the best officials from AFC in our own back yard, I figured it might be good to be able to put a face and a few facts to the list. As per big tournament style, there are effectively 11 trios selected with reserves mixing in where needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The group is staying in Sydney and flying in/out of the 5 venues as appointed, with a three day window which looks like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Matchday -1 fly in to host city, met by Referees Liaison volunteer, check in to hotel, light training session / relax / visit to ground?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Matchday - gameday, at the ground -3hrs prior</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Matchday +1 - return to Sydney</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There has even been some pre-tournament photos posted by the AFC on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theafcdotcom/photos/a.10150111958427333.273689.170504117332/10152652109737333/?type=1&pnref=story">Facebook</a>. Hopefully more pictures will appear during the tournament and where possible I'll try and post appointments once they are released for those interested (hint hint Mr. Wilson). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A full range of warm up matches have been keeping the local FFA boys busy, with some first international experiences for Kanga Cup alumni Owen Goldrick, Matthew Cropper, Daniel Olsen, Dylan Lambert, Luke Withell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well done guys, you can now sit back for a few weeks and watch the Current Elite do their stuff. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Goodluck to all officials and the 4th team = volunteers. I'll be working with the Technical Study Group myself, so hope to get some great pictures along the way when I'm not running around Brisbane Stadium.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So here's the list - enjoy the tournament. Edit 9/1/15 - This list is not complete </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This weekend marks the effective end of representative tournament football for the season here in SE Qld .

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

Here's Football's SWQ <a href="http://www.foxsportspulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?client=1-9387-0-0-0&sID=264725&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=29037588" target="_blank">promotion</a> from earlier in the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
What is your local branch doing about promoting their referees outstanding performer's this year? How many Grand Final appointed referees in your State / Region can claim Kanga Cup alumni? - drop me a line I'd love to post further updates in the next few weeks.<br />

Happy whistling this weekend, the end is in sight...<br />

<br />
Late post and shout out to all the referees taking part and competing in the following National tournaments this week. Given it's after midnight, I'm certain your all in bed already and most likely won't see this until next week.<br />
<br />
<b>School Sports Australia U/19 Football</b> is being played at 3 venues across Sydney<br />
Field 1 Lily Homes Stadium, 5 Quinn Avenue, Seven Hills.<br />
Field 2 Sydney United Sports Stadium, 223-227 Edensor Road, Edensor Park.<br />
Field 3 Valentine Sports Park – 235-237 Meurants Lane, Glenwood.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Games started on Sunday and will go through until Friday, round robin style. Here's the <a href="http://www.schoolsport.edu.au/home-2/sports-results/football-soccer-results/" target="_blank">draw</a> but unlike the Qld event I don't expect any pictures as it has a low profile. Local paper Blacktown Sun had this <a href="http://www.blacktownsun.com.au/story/2501646/school-sports-australia-football-championships-games-in-seven-hills-and-glenwood/?src=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">article </a>in the leadup. I have fond memories of the Valentine Sports Park, having attended National Titles there back in the day.</div>

<div>
<b>NTC Challenge</b> is at the AIS in Canberra, commencing Monday - Friday. </div>

This tournament has moved around in dates over the last few years and is the best young players from each state from their respective development academies and have been seen as the 2nd most important tournament for officials after National Youth Championships - girls were held in July and the Boys are in late October, both in Coffs Harbour.

<div>
And to not forget them, the A-League / W-League / FIFA AR's officials get into serious preseason mode this weekend with their seminar also at the AIS 29 - 31 August. The NTC crew might get a chance to say hi on their way out?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I'm hopeful some pictures of officials may appear via FB or state branches attending - happy to post online if anyone is kind enough to drop me a line.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Good luck to everyone taking part (referees, coaches, coordinators) and make the most of your chance to stake your claim as part of Future Elite.</div>

Time for bed - any updates throughout the week I'll re-post here.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The team looked very together and professional, and finally more relaxed in the pre-game routine than the preliminary matches, having made the Finals. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Congratulations on a great job, the second half certainly was exciting and produced some stunning goals.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So it got me to thinking about what makes for a good, positive Finals process? It's the last week in August and most winter competitions are wrapping up regular rounds and looking at the final 3 weeks of Semi/Finals/Grand Finals.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you get appointed, how do you make the gameday both memorable and as stress free as possible.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Prepare / Plan</b> - This week both the local Juniors and Senior referees here in Brisbane will be informed who's going to be refereeing the final games, most of which are 3 weekends away. This gives the referee involved some time to mentally plan for the match, ensure he/she is available, have their gear ready, stay match fit in the lead up, the usual things you'd do for any game. Finals being a bit bigger in terms of expectations from both players and self imposed performance expectations, it's worth trying a few other things that the professionals at FIFA do.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">If you get a chance, watch the semi finals of the age group / division you'll be refereeing - you're likely to be refereeing teams you've regularly been involved with already this season and may not be involved in the Semis. It's worth looking closely at how they develop play, their style, routines on the field for set plays(short corners) and </span><span style="font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">identifying</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> key players (these are not always the ones that get sanctioned but are the game changers). This will give you a edge on thinking about where your best positioned, match intensity (likely to be high) and may help with player management.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2-3 days before, try and reach out to your Assistant Referees and 4th official (if you have one). They are likely to be appointed after Semi Finals and might change, but it's important to have a pre-game conversation / chat. It might be just a quick phone conversation, catch up after training or coffee, but it's important to get them thinking about their role on match day and have some understandings of logistics - </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Confirmation of teams / venue</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">When is kickoff scheduled / when are you arriving at the ground (make it earlier than usual as there is always more to do )</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Liaison with the match coach / commissioner, they will have details about dressing room access / grounds / last minute logistical changes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Comprehensive ground inspection</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Warmups together - even if this isn't part of your usual routine, think about or ask someone with experience what would be appropriate given your fitness / current training routine - breaking down on a Finals match because you weren't warm is poor performance</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Team gear check - some teams may never experience this in the regular season, but it's worth doing your job fully and checking equipment in the change rooms before the game - it allows you to ensure there are no jewelry / uniform issues on the field when everyone is ready for the game to commence - so make certain you let the coaches know you want to do it and when is it convenient for them - remember they are under lots of match day stress too.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fifa lineup - you can also explain during the gear check to the coaches how the teams may walk out / FIFA handshake if that is being done in your match - ask your Match Commissioner</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">If your travelling together, allow extra time for parents to take photos of the "Finals" team</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Your equipment - ensure your AR's have the same uniform your expected to wear and their alternative colours - it'll allow you both time to borrow spares if needed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">If your really looking to be proactive, arrange for dinner out after the game - Celebration of your performances is worth it and it'll make the day more memorable.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And Finally, having called a fellow colleague who may be disappointed in having the AR instead of the Referee role, your making him/her feel better as your congratulating them on the appointment and setting the positive tone of teamwork that'll be needed on match day. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Today's U/20 WWC third playoff match for the AFC team produced some great stress relieving smiles from the team before the tunnel walkout - Sachiko had done some funny head twists between the first picture and second (above) and I can imagine they saw it on delay on a monitor in front? Whatever it was, it worked for breaking any tension just moments before the big walkout.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">Not a bad practice for any referee moments before the big game, as the use of </span><span style="font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">humor</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> / cheesy smiles will always break your concentration just enough to remind you to enjoy the experience and take it all in.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>

Some referees need loud pumping music, some quiet mediation, some practice physically or mentally their responses. But regardless, it's another game and you need to treat it the same as much as is practical, as this will allow your regular best performance to come to the surface. That performance is what got you to this point, so don't over think it.</span></span><br />

Checked into the U/20's Womens World Cup site this morning and to my pleasure found that the AFC team is officiating the <a href="http://www.fifa.com/u20womensworldcup/matches/round=268006/match=300251260/index.html#nosticky" target="_blank">Third </a>place playoff match Korea -v- France on Sunday afternoon Monteal time (6am AEST Monday), so congratulations and well done to Sachiko Yamagishi (Referee, Japan) Allyson Flynn (AR1, Australia), Sarah Ho (AR2, Australia), Esther Staubli (4th Switzerland).<br />
<br />
The AFC team has performed well throughout, having officiated Germany -v- USA (Edmonton), Canada -v- Finland (Toronto, infront of a capacity crowd at the National Soccer Stadium in a cracker comeback by Canada), Nigera -v- New Zealand Quarter Final (Moncton, which looked a lot like Bruce Stadium in Canberra to me) and now the runners up match in Montreal at the Olympic Stadium.<br />

Australian FIFA Assistant Referees Allyson Flynn and Sarah Ho are again in action at the U-20's Womens World Cup later this morning (10 AEST Saturday 9th) in one of my favourite Canadian cities, Toronto. They will assist again reigning AFC Women's Referee of the Year Sachiko Yamagishi for Canada -v- Finland, forming the same team as the opening game on Tuesday in Edmonton (USA -v- Germany). Fourth official is Therese Neguel (Cameroon).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Allyson is Kanga Cup Alumni from many years, most recently being Capital Football's Referee Development Officer and Academy Director / Big hat wearer in 2013.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year Allyson stopped in at the Academy HQ for a few minutes to wish everyone luck during Monday nights education sessions and to briefly catch up with a few coaching friends.</div>

<br />
Well I've spent a productive afternoon indoors (no football for me this Sunday??) finalizing the uploading of Day 4 - Day 5 - Presentations photos to the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ausref/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> account. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
you'll find pictures of your games, awards ceremony and perhaps random pictures tagged with you or your final game.<br />
<br />
Over 1900 pictures online (new record for KCRYA) and I'm still waiting on pictures from NZ and Lynda for completeness (hint hint Paul, Brent).<br />
<br />
I'm working on reviewing the video footage shot (mostly of Sunday's technical sessions and Sun - Wed's technical sessions). At this stage I'm looking at uploading that footage onto a DropBox account for closed distribution but will have to work out the details yet as it's a lot of downloading to view it all (currently 37Gb). If anyone has better ideas, love to hear some feedback.<br />
<br />
I'll also be using the dropbox service to provide footage from past Kanga Cup technical sessions as soon as I can edit it down. More details in a post later this week.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Reviewing / Goal Setting</h3>
How was your first full weekend back post KCRYA? Any improvements? New found confidence on your local leagues after refereeing in the hot house of Kanga? Are you reviewing your performance game to game for areas of improvement? Have you set new short term / medium / long term goals for your refereeing career?<br />
<br />
Your Academy book had some brief reviewing sheets to help you in this regard, but you may have filled them all in. <br />
Here's a possible template to start with.<br />
Jim Ouliaris, formerly FIFA AR, current member of FFA/FFV Referees Technical Committee, FFV's Referee Standing Committee, and AFC/FFA Assessor / Instructor and back in 2012 was <a href="http://www.footballfedvic.com.au/index.php?id=46&no_cache=1&sword_list%5B%5D=ouliaris" target="_blank">FFV's</a> Talent Officials Program Manager. Jim created along with help from Chris Bambridge, Ian Postlethwaite, Luke Brennan, Carlo Graser, Hakan Anaz, Kevin Dockerty (a stellar range of FFV's top refereeing minds) a range of documents you can still find on the internet and are still relevant today. Here's Jim's <a href="http://goo.gl/dz7zqP" target="_blank">Top Session 2</a> that covers topics including Unwritten Rules, SMART goal setting, LOTG Q&A, and a short quiz. Give it a try, see how you go and the unwritten rules are especially interesting reading.<br />
Used with thanks to Jim and the FFV crew.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Gossip from around the Grounds</h3>
Post Kanga lag for some of the Qld crew - Lynda has spent most of the week recovering from a cold, missed training but was back out assessing today. Can't keep a good assessor down long, made of tough stuff up North.<br />

Darren went straight back into the deep end of Football Brisbane's Capital 4 on Saturday afternoon (well someone had to do it!!) and promptly sent off two and cautioned half a dozen, keeping up the hard line spirit of Kanga Cup and not taking any nonsense. He had a good night's sleep and promptly returned to the airport on Sunday for a few days in Melbourne.<br />

Tuesday's training was full of questions from KCRYA Alumni about how good/bad it was. Bit of jealously I felt about our AIS setup I think compared to years past - LOL<br />
<br />
I caught up briefly with Oliver at Monday night's junior coaching on the Southside. Otherwise it's back to normal. I managed to have two quiet games (Sunday after, just a single RC for VC) and yesterday Capital 2 Ressies was a walk over 9-1, but was a fun training run working my angles. Already working on the annual report, did some correspondence with the KCRYA coaches and spent the rest of this week sorting out my Uni life for Semester 2. <br />

had a big weekend being appointed to ACT NPL U/20's CR for first time. There is speculation she's aiming on making a big play for Kanga Cup U/12's Plate Grand Final in 2015, so you can follow her progress on Twitter @DelfinaDimoski<br />

<b>Alasdair</b> - <span style="color: red;">MIA</span> somewhere last seen in the FNQ area after missed flights and another long day on Saturday (LOL).<br />
<br />
No word from NZ crew, but lots of FB updates indicating everyone got back.<br />
<br />
If you managed to get some local publicity for your attendance, send me the link. Remember, internal promotion of your time at KCRYA within your branch / region could be via your monthly newsletter / publicly speaking at your next coaching meeting - ask your Branch coach / mentor about it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, time to get onto something else. Enjoy the photos and don't exceed your parents internet limit.<br />

<br />
Hope by this time everyone has gotten 12 hours sleep, sought medical help for those colds / aches and pains and have done a load of washing following this year's Academy at Kanga Cup. Whilst the physical and logistical needs are easily taken care of, it's now time to consider the more complex needs of your brain, namely Post Course / Camp Depression (PCD). Whilst you haven't been to a American Summer Camp, you've taken part in a short, intense <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiential_learning" target="_blank">experiential </a>camp program where you've learnt, worked and formed relationships that may be stronger than you realize, similar in many aspects to a traditional camp program (substituting the canoeing / camp songs for officiating / education sessions)<br />
<br />
The Academy has evolved over several years to generate quality youth referees for Kanga Cup to support and work along side the Capital Football officials, but the outcomes I believe are longer term for those who take part. Here's why.....<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWxOdfiGY4kuZk99xfpxzcTWMBJpCN7ouxlQas1sYy_KQc0507EebRqjEk9ewdkI6NQCJYRKzbWPRVS9zzlyMPg7uccOWrp8gMXoD-5u_jkJNNNDOFl6oUQ4fzfmSQDJ0psR0RLGIxQ/s1600/DSC_0591.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWxOdfiGY4kuZk99xfpxzcTWMBJpCN7ouxlQas1sYy_KQc0507EebRqjEk9ewdkI6NQCJYRKzbWPRVS9zzlyMPg7uccOWrp8gMXoD-5u_jkJNNNDOFl6oUQ4fzfmSQDJ0psR0RLGIxQ/s1600/DSC_0591.JPG" height="180" width="320" /></a></td></tr>

<br />
Post Camp Depress is the best example I can find of what occurs to referees after attendance at the Academy. PCD occurs due to several factors. Tiredness, jet lag for some, intensive shared experience unlike any your refereeing friends / colleges or parents can understand. You may know the person you shared a room with better than any other just now, something that parents / friends will find difficult to understand and accept. You may have made connections to mentors / coaches unlike any you've previously had; different structures of living for the week (rigid schedules, expectations, purpose); strong supportive atmosphere of positive encouragement; refereed matches of higher quality and diversity than you'd be given at home.<br />
You may have changed. Not physically, but you may be more confident, walk just that bit more confidently, have more tools in your toolbox for dealing with difficult situations on the field, have new ideas about your refereeing goals / careers that others will not understand fully - they weren't part of the group, weren't in "the room" at the AIS. It's a combination of shared experience in a close group that is unique and therefore special to you and will be difficult for you to explain to others.<br />
<br />
Your transition back to everyday life <span style="color: red;">might </span>be difficult. You may be back at school / work / university this week, after what was a very different week and perhaps your first time independently away from parents / carers. The Academy demands early starts, long 16 hour days, physically and emotionally draining, intensive assessments, education sessions and feedback and constant communication with people who were strangers on Saturday evening but might now be close friends. And now suddenly your expected to be back into your routine of school, sports, friends, and family - the Academy experience is finished.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Solutions to PCD are varied. Some blogs indicate keeping busy - school, regular life, ensure your back refereeing this weekend in your local leagues (applying your new knowledge / confidence), attend your monthly coaching meeting. Make a effort to be more involved in your refereeing career - it promotes yourself and also reflects that Kanga had a positive impact on you, without saying it. <br />
<br />
And I always say to my students following a longer outdoor education program, talk at length to your parents / close family / carers about your experience. They <b>ARE ALWAYS</b> interested in not just what you did (U/12 final), but more about who you've become and what new ideas you have about the world. Parents love to know about the lives of their children, so share it when you feel ready. If you haven't yet had that conversation, make time later this week or next when your ready to discuss it casually over dinner or a quite time with Dad / Mom / Gran / Uncle. Sometimes talking with people not closest to you are able to listen the most. Your referees mentor / coach are also good listeners and could acknowledge your experiences easier as they may have been there, done that in their youth. If you don't yet have a mentor, ask someone in your branch about it.<br />
<br />
And be aware - Kanga Cup and your participation may not be fully supported by your local coach / branch / State even if you did "The Grand Final". There is lots of reasons for this, but just be patient. Cream always rises to the surface and your accomplishments will be known, even if not publicly acknowledged.<br />
<br />
If you need support, there are many coaches / assessors happy to help talk you through it - reach out to <a href="mailto:refadmin@capitalfootball.com.au" target="_blank">Capital Football</a> and I'm certain they will support you further.<br />

PCD doesn't last - like all things, it'll pass with time and distance from this years Academy. It'll resurface with pictures on Facebook / <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ausref/" target="_blank">Flickr </a>or when you get a message from someone online / FB request. You <u>might </u>return in 2015, but your journey may be directing you in twelve months towards new directions (National Titles, National Talent Pool, more local development opportunities) that are more challenging than what Kanga Cup can offer. Seek out these options (Kanga Cup <span style="color: lime;">WILL </span>continue without you) if they are relevant to your development stage.<br />
<br />
But regardles, Keep those friendships and networks going - it's much easier now than when I was at your level (before the internet). Start a email / FB / blog discussion about your next games, how your improving weekly, achievements at Finals and if your keen, send me notes - happy to promote Academy Alumni achievements here in future posts.<br />
<br />
Give yourself time to reflect on your Magic Moments and what you've learnt to take forward from KCRYA14. And remember, it's just a step in your LONG journey, not the destination.<br />
<br />
More pictures online overnight and tomorrow as they roll in, working on where to put video. <br />
