You were or are an active player in the PENNY DEL, DEL2, DFEL, Oberliga or U20? Then stay part of the game and use your hockey IQ as a referee. At the Grassroot Camp you can easily get a taste of the everyday life of a referee for a few hours.
The dates:
- August 2024 in Wolfsburg
- August 2024 in Nuremberg
The camp is divided into a theory part, each lasting one and a half hours, and a practical part of the same length. In the lecture hall, ice hockey rules are discussed and evaluated using video examples. Possible career paths are also shown in order to answer all questions on the subject of "How do I become a referee?" in detail. In addition, a referee from the PENNY DEL reports on his experiences. In the practical part, participants can try out refereeing and referee a game for a U17/U20 team themselves.
The speakers will be Rob Shick (NHL), Lars Brüggemann (PENNY DEL), Stefan Vogl (DEL2), Manuela Gröger-Schneider (DEB) and various active referees will be on site.
The number of participants is limited to 30 people – so register now at: deb-online.de/schiedsrichter
leader DEB-Arbitration Manuela Gröger-Schneider: "Be part of the game - that's not just a phrase, it's a fact. Neither the coach, nor the supervisors, nor the spectators are as close to the action and the players as a referee. As a referee, you can not only see the game and the emotions, but you can actually feel them. Of course, the life of a referee also has its challenges, but the experiences on the ice, as part of the game, are indescribable and incredibly special. A day at the grassroots camp is the perfect opportunity to get to know ice hockey from the other side."
