🗣 | FEEDBACK

We’ve been listening to Lewis, one of our Under 18 referees who has a disability.

Lewis came up with the idea of wearing 2 armbands and giving out these flyers to help him and others referee in a better environment.

Look out for Lewis on a pitch near you! 🔴🟡

Have you heard of William Hoy or how this talented, deaf baseball player changed the game?
Recently, Craig athletes learned how William Hoy convinced umpires to call strikes on their right hand, balls on their left, and to use the universal sign language for “SAFE” and “OUT.”

Got to share my experiences as an @aleaguewomen Match Official with the attendees at the @FSC_Official 100 Years of Women's Football Function last week via video message ⚽️

So important to share our stories especially those of minority groups within refereeing.
