Officials in Contact Sport and their duties - JSS1 Physical and Health Education Lesson Note

Officials in contact sports play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and safety of the game. Referees enforce the rules, penalize infractions, and ensure fair play. They also have the authority to stop the game if they deem it necessary for safety reasons. Other officials, such as judges and timekeepers, assist in various aspects of the game to ensure it runs smoothly and fairly. Their ultimate duty is to facilitate a competitive yet safe environment for athletes to compete in.
