SYSA Referee Mentoring Program

 

The HSSL and SYSA understand the complexities in become a confident and effective referee. Because of this we are excited to begin rolling out a 5-step Referee Mentoring Program that will see Referees mentored as AR’s and CR’s in Youth, Women’s and Men Division’s before moving forward to referee games on their own. This is a student driven (tailored) process which we are certain will lead to increased success and retention.
