Referee Safety
Here at Pohutukawa Coast Touch we are committed to ensuring our referees feel comfortable on and off the field. We have zero tolerance for referee abuse and/or dissent.
Keep in mind
OUR REFEREES ARE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.
MOST OF OUR REFEREES ARE YOUNG, LEARNING, AND GROWING WITH EVERY GAME, JUST LIKE OUR PLAYERS!
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, THAT’S WHAT MAKES US HUMAN.
OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT HELPS OUR REFEREES GAIN CONFIDENCE.
SHOUTING OR ARGUING DECISIONS ISN’T COOL AND GOES AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME.
THIS IS LOCAL TOUCH FOOTY, NOT THE WORLD CUP OR NRL.
LET’S ALLOWS THE REFEREES TO REF AND THE PLAYERS TO PLAY.
WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW, WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
