A message to NRSC Coaches and Managers from MDFRA
SUPPORTING LOCAL REFEREES:
All clubs are encouraged to support our local referees to improve recruitment and retention.
The following are some tips for Committee Persons and Ground Officials in how to
support our referees:
1. Meet and Greet all referees on their arrival, especially new referees to your fields.
2. Reassure the referees of your support, and if they have any issues instruct them
to speak to a Ground Official.
3. Speak to SSG and Junior referees in the presence of their parents (if they are in
attendance) to make them feel supported.
4. Identify a safe and restricted area for referees before and after matches.
5. Ground Officials are to be present near playing fields during matches
6. Offer referees a Meal Deal (for those officiating 3 or more matches)
7. Check their welfare during the day by asking them “how are you going,
any problems?”
8. Thank the referees when they conclude all their matches for the day.
9. Encourage recruitment within your clubs for players to become referees.
10. Pay the Referees after their matches. Remember that referees still get
paid if their game commences, but does not finish for whatever reason.
11. Club secretaries are encouraged to email good and indifferent refereeing
(ID No. sufficient) tothe LCC. This will be fwd onto the Secretary, MDFRA.
Yours in

To all current and future NRSC coaches
The letter below is from Glenn Armstrong from Macarthur. Please take your time to read it. All bookings can be made through Peter HEAD the club Secratary. secratary@narellanrangers.com.au
As the 2012 season rapidly approaches I wanted to take this opportunity to advise all clubs of upcoming legislation from FFA.
The National Curriculum is being rolled out around the country and part of this initiative is to ensure that within 3 years all coaches will be qualified with the appropriate licence.
As part of this requirement we planned ahead and have created a position in Coaching and Development which is occupied by Max Groll.
Max has spent his first year getting to know you and your clubs and trying to establish a network of suitable understudies to set up coaching initiatives over seen by Max but delivered at your clubs by your own people.
As General Manager I have set Max some KPI’s on where I think we should be in relation to qualified coaches by the end of season 2012. Whilst the KPI’s don’t affect anyone else it is important to know that we have a plan that we are working towards and it is part of the business model that we are putting in place.
Max has a wealth of knowledge and the fact that he is local is a great asset that should be taken advantage of by all concerned.
The fees the Board have set for 2012 for courses are as follows.
Grassroots course – Free
Junior Licence – $50.00
Youth Licence – $110.00
Senior Licence – $110.00
Goalkeeper Licence – $70.00
These are the prices that are available to your club members when courses are booked through your clubs. People who do not book through your club are charged the full FFA rate of $190.00 for the youth and senior licence and $90.00 for the junior licence. Also if your members don’t book through your clubs we cant guarantee spots on local courses and they may find they have to travel to Valentine Sports Park.
Please make sure you advise your members and current coaches of the upcoming changes as if they leave it to late the scramble to get a licence may be catastrophic to some clubs and their teams.
Kind Regards
Glenn Armstrong
MDSFA
