Since launching a couple of weeks ago, we’ve had quite a bit of interest from referees at all levels in being part of our brand new Mentor Scheme.
We are now almost in a position to launch this, but in the meantime, we have created a Survey for anyone who thinks they might benefit from being mentored to complete, so we can begin to paint a picture and plan for the season ahead.
In the survey, there are no trick questions and there are no wrong answers. The answers will help us learn how we can help each individual referee progress in the best way and how we can make ourselves available to you.
Where previously referees will have been allocated one mentor, we will now have a pool of mentors that can come and watch you and give you informal feedback and encouragement to help you grow as a referee and get you more and more confident to get to the level of football you wish to officiate.
In the coming weeks, we will introduce to you the mentoring committee and provide further details on the scheme.
The primary focus for us is to help you across any obstacles and barriers, share our own experiences and help you progress and learn. We have all been through what you’re going through.
If you’re interested in progressing as a referee and you’d like to get involved in the Mentor Scheme, please complete the following survey – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/P7FBHWW
