During the past twelve months, we have built the foundations of a Mentor scheme to help the new referee. It is important that the newly qualified referee has someone with whom to talk things through.
Whether the referee has concern over a point of Law, or in dealing with a difficult player, or more often, unfortunately, a difficult parent, there is a colleague at the other end of the telephone to assist.
This will help us keep more referees and provide a better service for the game.
The Mentors need only give a small amount of time to each referee, but are able to help a tremendous amount. There are around 100 Mentors in Surrey so we should see a great improvement in retention which is a must if we are to provide the service our clubs need and deserve.
If you wish to become a mentor then please contact, David Dixon. or complete the form to the right hand side.
