Referee Support - MentorshipOne reason for a lack of referees in the area, is that many newly qualified referees often get put off after having a bad experience at a match. This can often be put down to a lack of experience and often results in the person giving up. Learning the skills required to referee and control a match (as well as all the rules) takes time and past experience shows that additional coaching and support is often required. Nationally there is a referees' buddy scheme which addresses this problem, locally we can also provide support. This can include assessing your current refereeing level, providing feedback and support during matches, clarification and interpretation of the rules, etc. tailored to meet your specific needs. We can also arrange for you to 1st & 2nd ref EDVA Div 1 matches, South West League matches, National League and Beach matches (a separate qualification), as you progress as a referee and learn the trade. Everyone progresses at a different rate and past experience shows that it often takes two years for a newly qualified ref to progress from local through to regional and national level matches. If you would like to take advantage of this support, please contact Dave Reece, Dave.Reece@network100.co.uk (currently a Grade 3R ref, been refereeing for 20 years and has officiated at over 150 National League matches) or myself refsupport@volleyballtaunton.org.uk. The referee support pages are maintained by Ian Sidwell. Site was last updated on 26/08/2015 22:57:10 |
