I'm not going to be a full time umpire, The A & B girls are rostered to score for the other team/umpire/keep time etc when they don't have hockey or canteen roster. There was an umpire clinic a few weeks ago & I would've gone, but I did the carnival the day before & couldn't afford to go to both (1.5/2 hours in different directions).
I will talk to our umpire. Was going to at training last night, but she left early.
Yeah, she was watching DD to watch her move, & it definetely worked, but she was standing over her. She was intimidating. She was 2 inches from DD's face the whole time & I don't think I could've dealt with the same TBH. But I didn't know if it counted as they weren't in play. I think if it happened in an adult game, she'd have been pushed out of the way... I've seen the A/B girls get pretty worked up over much less.
In that situation, I'd either call advantage and speak to the player and coach during the break, or if the intimidating player's team had the ball I would call it, penalty pass and still speak to player and coach. They need to learn and there's no need for *****iness. It's starting younger and younger these days, its sad.
Wow... That's full on! We get the odd elbow, or push... but nothing like that!
None of us actually knew about intimidation really. Most of us haven't played since primary or high school But like I said, still learning. Last week it was GK/D's hand up defending the goal is only allowed to move if the ball moves. Not if it's still. So many things to remember!
At least I know the basics here... I played a season of basketball & was so unprepared!
