umpires camp
i was recently talking to someone quite familiar with the vbl. he brought up a point which i thought was a great idea. he told me that the umpires undergo a so called training camp before the season begins, so as to drill all the umpires on rules and how to let a game be played. this then brings about a more consistent standard of umpiring so that teams then know how physical games can be and how they can prepare for each game. do we have anything like this in the central league? if not it is possible, i think it would greatly improve the standard of games. i have seen so many times games where players can be physical and not many fouls are called then the following week, same physicality but lots of fouls called. i think if all referees are on the same wave length then it will benefit the players and also the referees. if players know what their up for each week as far as the reffing goes then it can only improve the games. what does everyone think?
