Over the last few years, we have built the foundations of a Mentor Scheme to help the new referee and those in the Promotion Scheme. 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 is now over 100 Referee 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, Tim Lawrence. or complete the form to the right hand side.
