However, were it not for the match officials who
front up each week to facilitate hundreds of games at
different levels, there would be no games for parents,
grandparents, teachers, coaches and kids to enjoy.
Yet it is often these ‘match officials’ (often Mums
or Dads volunteering to take the whistle) who do
not get the respect or gratitude they deserve due to
unacceptable sideline behaviour. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure our sport brings out the
best in people. To lead by example as adults, so
the next generation who will one day move from
the field to the sideline will portray the standard of
sportsmanship and role model behaviour expected.
