Nine BC Soccer Referee Development Officer’s hard work helps launch the program
Vancouver BC, January 20, 2014 – BC Soccer is excited to announce the official launch of BC Soccer’s Grassroots Development Program. Within their regions, the nine BC Soccer Referee Development Officers have begun connecting with youth districts and member soccer clubs to help bring the local referees together for consistency and mentorship.
The BC Soccer Grassroots Referee Development Program is designed to better meet the needs of registered and potentially new referees at the grassroots level. This is being done by training and supporting local Head Referees, Mentors, and Schedulers who oversee refereeing in their area. The training and support is being facilitated by the nine Referee Development Officers.
“A lot of work and preparation has been put into BC Soccer’s Grassroots Development Program and we are very happy to be launching the program,” said Jose Branco, BC Soccer Referee Development Coordinator. “There is still a lot to be completed but thanks to commitment and work ethic of the referee development officers we’re excited for the launch of this initiative and the positive outcomes that it will bring.”
The goal of the Grassroots Referee Development Program is:
Referee Development Officers will host workshops to help ensure consistency amongst referee education, expectations and to help the growth of young and aspiring referees. The Referee Development Officers will be reaching out to youth districts and member soccer clubs within their region to bring local head referees, schedulers, and referee mentors together.
