Mentoring Program
FieldHouse conducts an on-going referee mentoring process whereby referees are assessed periodically in an effort to maintain a quality and consistent standard of refereeing.
This process is also used to help referees improve upon their skills and monitor their progress.
This program also enables referees to have a sounding board when they have a need to handle difficult game situations.
We encourage clear and open communication between referees and management.
