Referee Advisors

Your 2009 Referee Advisors Director is Dan Rosen.  Contact Dan.

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 briefly 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 we are scheduling our Referee Advisors to make sure at least one is available for assistance at all times during league play.  If you did not schedule their assistance in advance, you should go to the referee tent and ask the duty Referee Advisor for assistance.  If not, the Referee Advisor will be working the fields, offering tips, pointers and assistance as he deems necessary.
