Officiating Game where One Team is Deaf
My first reg. season game of the year is tomorrow night and I am the R for a GV game featuring a school for the deaf against a regular private school.
Please excuse my ignorance but I am wondering if there is anything special I need to be aware of heading into this. For one, one of my pre-game staples of "blue talk to blue and white talk to white" probably isnt appropriate.
My understanding is that the players can hear the vibration of the whistle and will know when play has been stopped but just wondering if others have any experience with this and if there is anything I should be mindful of in particular.
TIA
