Junior Referee Program

Junior Referee Program

 

Hello Hartwell Families!
Calling all future referees! We are excited to announce a brand-new opportunity
Hartwell's Junior Referee Program,
starting THIS Spring!
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The program is designed for kids ages 11-14 (1/1/2011 to 4/30/2014), and will introduce the basics of refereeing in a fun, low-stress environment.

Junior referees will have the chance to practice their skills by officiating 1st and 2nd grade recreational games, all while building confidence, leadership, and decision-making abilities. Our goal is to provide a positive experience that encourages participants to explore the world of officiating.

Who knows? It may even inspire them to pursue official referee training! The best part...the junior refs will receive an official H
artwell ref tee shirt and a shiny, loud, whistle!
 
 
DETAILS:
The program is FREE and will include three training sessions and the opportunity to ref several games. The first training session will be with certified referees who will review the rules of the game and prepare the JR refs for live 3v3 and 5v5 games. Attendance will be required before refereeing any games. The second session will provide an opportunity to check in and answer any questions/make adjustments, if needed. At the third session, the JR refs will earn an official certificate of completion and celebrate an awesome season! 
 
 
SCHEDULE:
The first training session date/time will be confirmed shortly. Families will then select games that work best with their schedule. All games will be on Saturdays from 9am-1pm at Rotary or Smith Fields and a mentor will be present. Placement will depend on age and availability.
 
 
INCENTIVES:
Our JR refs will have an opportunity to earn a gift card reward at the end of the seaso
n, based on how many games they officiate. For example, officiating 5 games = $25 Gift card (Amazon, Starbucks, Target, etc.). 
 
Please register by Monday, April 14th to participate.
