Referees, this is where the game changes. For too long, refs have only been seen as the ones who punish bad behavior. But we know refereeing can be more than that. We believe referees can be leaders of respect, recognition, and real sportsmanship. That’s why this coalition exists — to give you the tools, support, and recognition you need to not just enforce rules, but shape the culture of the game. ~~ Here’s What To Do First: ✅ Step 1: Introduce Yourself Drop a quick post in the “Introductions” thread: your name, sport, and why you joined the Coalition. ✅ Step 2: Get Your Green Cards Check your inbox for details on your starter pack (if you haven’t already grabbed yours, [link to offer/join page]). ✅ Step 3: Take the Positive Ref Challenge Inside the “Challenges” tab, you’ll find your first action step: Hand out a Green Card in your next game and post a quick recap in the group. ~~ What You Can Expect Here: Weekly Positive Ref Challenges to help you practice and implement Positive Refereeing. Recognition: leaderboards, shoutouts, and “Ref of the Month.” Tools and playbooks that make refereeing more respected, more impactful, and more fulfilling. ~~ Founding Member Spirit 💡 You are not just joining a group. You are shaping a movement. By showing up, taking action, and sharing your wins, you’ll inspire thousands of referees to follow your lead. We’re building this together — let’s change the game.
