Do you have any advice for young/new referees? : Attend training and monthly meetings as often as possible, don’t be afraid to ask any member for advice as we’ve all been in your shoes and there will no situation that hasn’t already happened to another member at some point in their career. Try and relax as much as possible during the game, and most of all ENJOY IT!
