Waibop are planning to run a Girls’ and Women’s Week – this is a great opportunity for Mums and girls to get into coaching or refereeing.
Clubs rely on people volunteering to coach teams and now you can get an Introduction to Coaching qualification to help you be more confident in taking on a new role. For those who want to advance to higher levels, there is a Club Based Referees course available as well.
There is also a Girl’s Summer League in the planning – more details below.
