Referee Advisors
 

Your 2010 Referee Advisors Director is John Flintoff

 

The Region 9 Referee Advisor Program is designed to assist new and inexperienced referees by matching them with experienced referees when a need arises.  The following situations are examples when a Referee Mentor might be useful:
 
  • You are fresh out of your U8 or Basic Referee Class and feel overwhelmed by the materials covered.
  • You have a few additional questions and would like someone to help you with your first game or two.
  • You feel comfortable with the materials and your abilities, but would like someone to watch your performance and provide some pointers or an informal assessment.
  • You are preparing to do your first game as a "Center Referee" and would like someone with experience to assist your first game.
  • You are a youth referee and feel intimidated by the adults.
  • Anytime you would like some help, advice, or feedback with your referee duties

    •  

    This season our Referee Advisors will also make a record of informal observations for use and review by the Referee Staff.  The purpose is two fold.  First, this fulfills our obligation to train and monitor our Region's referees.  Second, and more important, the data from these informal observations will help our Referee Training Staff determine how we are meeting the needs of our referees and where we need to improve.  These informal observations are to be use for positive improvement purposes only and should not be considered negative or punitive in any way.

     

    Remember: You are never alone on the fields. Region 9 Staff is always available to help.  Anytime you need assistance or feel uncomfortable with any situation, you should ask a field monitor or parent to go to the referee tent for help.
