Sometimes a 'hand up' is all that is needed to become an even better official.
The Mentorship Program started in 2009 to provide local officials with support to improve their on-field performance and to increase their satisfaction as an official. And it has been building ever since. Survey results suggested that both mentors and mentees benefit from the Progam.
Please see the following documents for futher information about the Program, mentoring in general,the how-to's of being a mentor or a mentee; and for mentors, the forms to use.
As a mentor you can choose one of the two forms below. Form A has some factors to consider when reviewing the performance of the mentee against his stated goals, while Form B is less structured.
Either form can be used, the choice is yours.
