MentorsMentor ProgramIn 2004 the Fullerton Rangers began the only mentor program in the state to assist in advancing and educating our referees with more technical skills involved in refereeing soccer. The mentor referees are selected by the Director of Referees and are usually referees with several years of reffing experience. They are used to work one on one with newer referees and are in charge of all matches at the field sites. They have full jurisdiction to work on and off the field to insure tall the laws of the game and codes of conduct are upheld. You will be able to tell whether or not a mentor referee is present at your field sight by looking for the ref. categories: Mentors
Parents & Coaches Please RememberPlease remember a simple saying. There will be good and bad in everything in life. The quality of referees are no different. Some are new and some are old. Some are real old too. Please take the time to thank your referee and show the courtesy to respect their calls. The job is much more difficult than you think and requires a large amount of skill, expertise and training to become effective. It could take many years to gain the confidence to try to work as a lead referee or an assistant, but it only takes one comment to lose a referee for life. categories: Mentors
