Please help

[Oz Referee]

I have recently been appointed as Director of Referees for my local Basketball association (www.manlybasketball.com.au. Tonight I have our first Board Meeting and there are a couple of things that I would like your help with.

One of the main things that I would like to do for our referees is to come up with more non-financial methods of rewarding them. Does anyone here gain any benefit from refereeing other than being paid (store discounts, awards, free uniforms, etc).

Also, what could be done to encourage you to continue (or increase) the ammount of refereeing that you do? Again, especially any non-financial incentives would be great.

Thanks.
