NEXT MEETING..................October 4, 2010
GHSA WEEK 5
Region play for all teams has begun! It will be important for your crew to properly prepare for the game and to provide the best possible officiating. The stakes are much higher, now that teams have completed their non-region games.
The level of intensity will certainly be higher this week and for the remainder of the season. Review with your crew how to deal with animated or agitated coaches and players. You are the calming presence on the field, don't let sitatuations escalate and turn out poorly. It can be disatrous to a team whose head coach or star player(s) have been ejected from the game and must sit out for the next game or two. Preventative officiating should be on the forefront of your mind during the game to alleviate these types of situations.
We're at the half-way point of the 2010 season. Every game will now be highly important to each and every team. Be professional, be consistent, be prepared. Have a great week!
