Referees Thanked For Tournament (NSW)
The organiser of the Marrickville Schools and All Nations futsal tournaments held recently express their thanks to the Referees involved
The NSWFRA has come in from more praise, this time from the organiser of the Marrickville Schools and All Nations futsal tournaments held last week. Junior aged players participated on Wednesday in the schools event with Sunday encompassing more junior competition as well as a senior section.
Event co-ordinator Ms Grace Clark thanked the referees who officiated at the tournament. “They were extremely helpful on both days; rolling with the chaotic nature of the tournaments and always being flexible to changes. They worked well with the players to allow for good, community futsal to be played by players of varying abilities.”
Referee participation ranged from Select panel referees such as Sam McIntosh, Owen Ferguson and Roger Lee, through to junior referees including Niki Loe, Menouar Belkadi and James Brunacci. Elio Valente, Ross Fazzalaro, and Feddy El Alami were also appointed by the TSC to balance out the officiating team over the two days.
Sam McIntosh, who co-ordinated the referees at the two events, was especially pleased with the attitude of the juniors. “James looked like he had done quite a bit of refereeing before, but it was Niki’s first futsal tournament and Meny was also quite inexperienced coming in to it” he said. “They were all brimming with enthusiasm though.”
After gaining some match time, the younger referees were introduced to the two referee system, working with some of their more experienced counterparts. “Over the course of the day, you could see how much they improved and got the hang of it” McIntosh said. “All three were keen to do more refereeing in the future. A couple are already asking about Premier and Super Futsal League opportunities in the coming season.”
Special Events are allowing more and more members the chance to meet and work with their peers, giving them the opportunity to learn from more experienced referees and improve their skills.
