Over the next week I hope to complete an initial schedule for referees appointments from now until Christmas. This will be emailed to all referees and published online at http://www.waterpolo.ie/
If there are any dates that you are not available for appointment to referee games can you please email, call or text me the details and I will ensure you are not scheduled. Obviously the schedule issued will be subject to change on a week to week basis but the intention is to publish the schedule as far in advance as possible to ensure that maximum visibility and flexibility.
If anybody has any opinions or feedback on how the referee appointment process can be improved feel free to send me on any suggestions or ideas and I will log them and bring them to the attention of the National Referees Committee.
If you are aware of any players or club members who are interested in becoming a referee can you please give me their details and I will make contact them and supply them with details of new referee training courses and development programs that the National Committee hope to start this year.
Regards,
Karl
