Coaching and Development Report

Refereeing Manager which a number of Canterbury Referees attended and later moved on to that level.

The Coaching Panel visited a small number of clubs, passing helpful information to our eager young players. This avenue of information was disappointing as most clubs did not take advantage of this service.

The new candidates starting their refereeing careers this year enjoy yourselves and enjoy your refereeing. Thank you to my fellow members of the Coaching panel for your efforts again this year.

Well done to the on field coaches who freely give their time and advice to the newer referees.

Also, thank you to the executives for their support throughout the year.

Season 2004 saw a merger of the previous roles of coaching and development officer and the training coordinator with a three man committee being formed consisting of Mario Cafarelli, Chris Bettiol and Richard Daizli. This would allow more focus towards the development of referees as well as coordinating training sessions to include both fitness and skills.
