Hi All,
Many thanks to those of you who were able to attend Part 1 of this season’s WKF Refereeing. I’m very grateful to Dale Gamble, Tony Dent and Mair Phillips for their comprehensive view of WKF refereeing basics. As with all elements of karate, clear and deep understanding of the basics are the building blocks to true excellence – and refereeing is no exception.
In Part 2 of WKF Refereeing, Dale, Tony and Mair (all WKF Referees) will build on the basics covered in Part 1. They will look into detail of real scenarios occurring during competitions to show how the rules are applied in real situations. They will also cover any explanations or guidance required which has arisen from recent Karate 1 events and changes to rules and their interpretations
This is another outstanding opportunity to hear from some of the world’s top referees – to understand how decisions are reached and to build your knowledge for passing onto your students and federations. Dale, Tony and Mair are really looking forward to your challenging questions!
Please distribute this invite to all your associations and encourage attendance by both male and female coaches and competitors.
Key points to note are:
· This session is predominantly aimed at coaching coaches and referees but we’re sure all competitors will benefit greatly from it. Feel free to invite people you think would benefit from the session.
· The session will be carried out using Zoom and will comprise 60mins of presentation and 30mins of questions. This is a fantastic opportunity for your coaches to put their questions directly to Dale, Tony and Mair
· Alternatively, questions can be submitted using virtualkarateoutreach@gmail.com
· Links to the recording of these sessions will be posted on CKF’s Facebook shortly after on https//www.facebook.com/commonwealthkaratefederation/
Should you need any further information please do not hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to seeing you there.
Stay safe and best wishes
Iain Scott (VKO Project Manager)
