Recommendation:
 The possibility of providing the necessary tools for the participants for effective refereeing
(sanction cards and whistle) at the completion of the program.

Conclusion:
The ETE program attracted 15 participants that were trained as Community referees. The interest
shown by the participants and diagnostic assessment conducted at the beginning of the session,
indicated that the problem faced in their communities are the lack of knowledge and
misinterpretation of the rules.
The newly accredited referees will bring changes and definitely assist in sharing the knowledge
acquired during the program for the betterment of the sport.
