A lot more of the kids will understand the role of a referee and what their responsibilities are, and they can link it into what a police officer does, or a teacher does, and people of certain authorities."Refs in Schools is something that's gone nationwide and although it's in its early days on today's evidence it's something that could be really successful and beneficial." Geoff and Tony demonstrated the kit they use each match day including buzzer flags, microphones and vanishing spray before tasking the children to design their own piece of refereeing equipment. "The kids came out with some really good ideas," Geoff added. "The imagination they used to come up with some of the designs was amazing. "Everybody interacted and they worked well as groups and individuals and interacting with each other. It was a good exercise. "It was good for us to get our point of view across and to explain a little bit more about refereeing in general and I think they grasped that. "The kids were coming up at the end and asking questions which was fantastic. They were really interested."
