Need a ref or want to get paid for your refing?

CPHB has set up a system so that teams requiring duty referees can be matched with available referees.

Here's how it works.

Teams that need a ref - follow this link CPHB Help I need a ref and send a message to the group with the following details.

Day, date, time, pitch and team for whom duty is required, also include a contact for the ref to introduce themselves to on the night.

We will assign you a ref and reply to your message with their name so you know that you're covered. Please give us as much time as possible.

You will need to pay your ref on the night, Please bring $20 cash.

People that want to ref - follow this link CPHB I want to ref and join the group

When a ref is required we will message the group with the details. If you are available to do it then reply with a "yes" or a "yes with mentor". Duties will be assigned and confirmed by us after people have had an opportunity to reply, unless it's short notice in which case they will be assigned straight away by us.

A database will be kept to ensure that everyone is getting their turn.

Mentors - If you want to be a Mentor and support our new refs please follow this link CPHB ref mentoring and join the group. You will need to be confident at refing and confident in supporting new refs who are unsure about what they are doing.

When you join any of the groups please start by sending a message with your full name so we know who you are.

If you don’t have a team, put yourself down as an individual player and we will see if we can find a team to slot you into.
This league is aimed not only to get more game time for our top players. But provides an opportunity for everyone to play in the spring/summer.
Depending on entries CPHB reserves the right to add or combine grades to best accommodate teams.

You may have as many players as you like in a team. But please list the players names down. And you can only play with a max of 8 players per game.
If you are in one of the “school” grades, teams do not have to be made up of players from the same school (but of course can be).
It's a great opportunity as well to learn how to referee, so put your name down to ref and we will see what we can do to work with you and enable you to develop as a referee. Duty teams will all need to provide BOTH referees.

Equipment

All equipment (boats, paddles, helmets, pfd’s, decks, balls) will be provided by CPHB but you may bring and use your own if you wish.
