He stated, "We are delighted that there has been such a positive response to this initiative in County Clare. As we can see from the variety of clubs that have achieved their awards tonight, there is a real willingness from these clubs to step forward and to change the culture of how sports clubs interact with the referee or officials. They fully understand that if there is no respect, there will be no officials, and this will lead to no games."The Level 1 training provided clubs with valuable insights and strategies for enhancing the relationship between players, coaches parents and referees. Through interactive workshops and educational materials, participants gained a deeper understanding of the vital role that officials play in the sporting ecosystem and the impact that respectful conduct can have on their enjoyment and performance. This accomplishment reflects the club's commitment to creating a supportive environment for referees and officials, thereby setting a positive example for other clubs to follow.The Season of Respect Campaign aims to continue its efforts in driving positive change throughout County Clare.
