New Year Resolution...A referee diary.
Hey neighbor...COVID19,
Happy New Year?
The New Year. It is new but is it happy? We are still going through it. Still modifying the playing court. I’m looking forward to the day that we can say normal. Whatever that looks like. If you made it to 2021...you are blessed.
Mask muffle
If you started officiating during this COVID year you will come to realize the importance of communication. Supervisors are now strongly recommending that officials wear a mask at all times. This means during live play as you run up and down the court. With a mask on communication with your partners is even more important. You have to adopt an intentional way of communicating. This might mean being slower with your mechanics your signals and your pronunciation. I found myself taking pauses to communicate with my partners. I know people with hearing disabilities are looking at the world saying, “Now you know how I feel”. New beginnings. Be safe, adapt and wear a mask.
Turn the wheel, turn the wheel, turn the wheel.
Turn the wheel. The traveling signal.
