A useful site to look at for both coaches and officials is www.playbytherules.net.au
Play by the Rules promotes fun, fair and safe behaviour in sport and provides information and resources on how to prevent and deal with inappropriate and unlawful behaviour.
The Coloured Shirt Program (CSP) was launched in Darwin in March 2010.
The aims of the program are to:
- Make new officials easily identifiable, so that they can be recognised and supported
- Raise awareness and increase the recognition and support of new officials
- Create a culture of support for officials via the education of players, spectators, coaches and the media
