WHAT IS THE RESPECT OUR REFEREES PROGRAM
The Respect Our Referees (RoR) program is designed to reduce verbal abuse, physical abuse and inappropriate / unacceptable behavior involving soccer referees.
It is designed to positively influence behavior around the soccer pitch.
The goal is to provide a fair, safe and enjoyable environment for everyone involved; players, coaches, spectators and referees.
WHY WE NEED THIS PROGRAM
Soccer continues to grow with more players participating every year.
-
NTX Soccer recruits and trains 3,000 new referees ever year.
-
The referee attrition rate is 54%!
-
Most attrition occurs in referees aged 12-16 years.
-
60% of all our referees are aged 12-16 years.
-
It is becoming harder to find referees to cover all of our matches.
-
The #1 reason given why referees don’t return is “verbal abuse” from coaches, spectators and players.
