FEED BACK ON REFEREE PERFORMANCE

We encourage feedback on game officiating from parents, coaches, players and referees.  It is hard to improve on skills without both experience and guidance.  This feedback needs to follow an appropriate format.  Please use the Ref Game Report linked below to provide this feedback.  The form may be printed then forwarded to the Referee Allocator care of refcoordinator@lacomberingette.ca

Reminder:  OFFICIATING IS CHALLENGING and certainly not an exact science.  Lacombe Ringette does not tolerate abuse of officials.  If you observe abuse you may also use the Ref Game Report to detail your observations so that our Assoication can take appropriate steps to educate and prevent further abuse.
