Watch a young female referee approach a manager yesterday & told him if he carried on questioning her decisions she would stop the game or dismiss him from the field of play. Good to see our young Refs having the confidence to approach adults.We know it's not easy.#llifeskills.

Parental coaching from the sidelines. Parents can find themselves caught up in the excitement & emotion of a game. You may feel in the short term it proves successful, however the long term implications of this can be found in the infographic above.Please let the coaches - coach
