Coaching and Assessment
Coaching and Assessment
South Dakota State Referee Committee has Referee Mentors and Trainers to support our mission of developing our referees and encouraging them to referee at the highest level possible.
MENTORING/ASSESSMENT
An “assessment” is a type of evaluation of a referee’s on-field performance. It is a formal process that involves a Referee Coach/Mentor observing a referee as they officiate a match, and then helping the referee reflect on their performance after the match.
REFEREE MENTORS
Referee Mentors provide guidance and instruction to all Grassroots Referees, including those who are working toward a Regional Referee license. Referee Mentors assist with referee instruction and training, and they can perform development and guidance (D&G) assessments.
Referee Mentor candidates are selected by the SDA in coordination with the SRA and SYRA. Each candidate must successfully complete US Soccer’s First Time Referee Mentor Course. If you are interested in becoming a Referee Mentor, contact the SRA - Andrew Wubben at southdakotasra@gmail.com.
