MNZ REFEREES TRAINING AND EDUCATION COMMUNICATION
CONTENTS • CONCENTRATION • CONSISTENCY • CONTROL
CONCENTRATION • maintain through game • ignore spectators and don’t react to their comments
TO HELP CONCENTRATION • positional play • think about the game, predict and anticipate what is going to occur
CONSISTENCY • set a pattern, benchmark and referee that way for the entire game • law interpretations and penalising players – the effect this will, what is the material affect? Perhaps communicate clearer or try to avoid awarding penalties.
CONTROL integral how do I manage this and ensure the game does not become unruly?
AS A REFEREE YOU MUST USE YOUR • Ability • Management • Influence through attitude, appearance, voice, decisions, personality and whistle • Too authoritarian means the fire of the game will go out • Too meek and mild the players will overrule you and make you look incompetent • Equilibrium – let players know you are there, they are confident with you and aware of your presence. • Restrain experience, learning to manage, control and exert influence. • Anticipatory refereeing – stop things before they start
CHECKLIST • reading a game (i.e fast or hard ruggered) • restraining the over vigorous player • being firm but not authoritarian • be firm with first foul play (it is better to be over cautious – set the tone) • play less advantages if the game has problems • slow the game down (eg longer scrum and line-out setups) • not let players try to ‘even-up’ • blow up rucks quickly so there is no opportunity for illegal actions/foul play
What to do? • know the law • stay calm and firm when making decisions • if it is a tense situation; take time and be deliberate • use the captains and KIS, think before speaking
