Refereeing at DCPL

By: secretary On: 09-05-2013

Refereeing at DCPL

There has been great success this year in the approach that was taken on refereeing where teams were assigned to specific games. We have had lots of people step forward and start refereeing and ask to be shadowed etc particularly in the lower divisions. Starting next season, every team must have a qualified referee (Grade 3 or trainee referees need to check if they need to repeat their exam - must be repeated every two years) before they can enter the league. DCPL will be updating our list this summer with the help of Canoe Polo Ireland and the courses/exams they will be running.

Next course/exam will be held in Dublin on Saturday May 18th. 

We recommend all teams to get this out of the way early and in plenty of time for the summer comps!

Details can be found on the Canoe Polo Ireland Facebook page:

"Saturday 18th May in Dublin. This year all grade 3/trainee referees must repeat paper format exam. From 2014 ALL referee grades must repeat the exam every 2 years. Good opportunity for all to repeat this year as no cost for assessment for first repeat. Full details on our website under referee tab"
