Respect our Referees
Please remember Miniroo refs are young kids, they are someone’s child and they deserve respect. They will make mistakes and we should show them the same tolerance and understanding that we show our own children. Try to remember back to when you were that age and how scary & intimidating you would have found a grown adult or group of them towering and shouting at you when all you were doing is trying to help their kids.
Each Club has a MiniRoos Co-Ordinator and there are Ground Control at every game. Please approach these people with any problems or issues that may arise. They are there to help! This is also the case with Adult Refs, no matter what decision is made on the field, all refs are to be respected. We are all grown adults and should be setting the example.
Serious and repeat offenders could be taken to the SSFA judiciary if a complaint is made and penalties like suspension of a player or match bans for spectators could apply. We ask you consider your behaviour as role models for the children and treat all referees with respect.
