Club Officiating
In all tournaments, teams of all ages will be expected to participate in officiating responsibilities.
Officiating Expectations
As a club, we want to do an excellent job when officiating matches because:
We want to set a good example.
We expect other teams to officiate our matches well, so we should provide them with the same effort and respect.
How we conduct ourselves while officiating reflects directly on Northern Attack. We want our athletes and coaches to represent our club in a positive, respectful, and professional way.
ALL players and coaches should review the current rules and videos. Even if you have completed officiating training before, it is important to refresh your knowledge each season. Take time to review the rules and watch the videos below so you are prepared and confident when it is our turn to officiate.
