nOfficial Courses
n
n
n
nIn normal times, we are always looking for help during matches and the club is short of qualified officials. Every year and in every club a very small number of fantastic officials try their very best to fill all the officials’ places at the home and away matches but are unable to do so. This causes serious difficulties on the competition day and means events go on for far too long. Also the WADAC team lose points for not fielding the correct number of coaches.
n
nThere is a great opportunity to train online to become a field official this year. The online courses is from 10am to 3pm including an hour lunch break. Courses will be run on the Thurs 28th Jan, Sat 30th Jan and Sun 21st Feb. The cost is £20 which WADAC will reimburse once you have officiated at your first match. The course is open to anyone aged 14 and above.
n
nWADAC will make a small financial contribution to officials in full-time education and our other officials are entitled to claim expenses that they occur in attending matches (https://www.wadac.org.uk/asset.... When coaches are provided to away matches, officials may travel on the coach for free.
n
nOnce you have completed the course, you will be a trainee. To become a Level 1 official, you need to officiate at 4 matches. Details of the field cour
