Rural Referee Initiatives

The Rural Referee Initiatives outlines Saskatchewan Soccer Associations commitment to developing Referees at every level of the game.

Basic Training to get everyone started on their career and referee pathway

Instructors are available to come to your referees to provide education on updated Laws of the Game, continued education on some of the more confusing rules and a general refresher on what it takes to be a referee.

SSA Mentors are available to come out to a tournament or Club Day and provide in game mentorship to referees allowing for growth, development, and refinement

SSA suggests that MOs create the position of a Referee Development Lead. Referee Development Leads are welcome to attend the SSA Candidates sessions in order to obtain up to date education and information. Referee Development Leads are able to bring the information back to their home environment and further educate their local referees.

Referees who show strong interest in furthering their career as a referee are welcome to join the Candidates Program. If a referee wants to journey down the Referee Pathway it is highly encouraged they join the Candidates Program. The candidates Program exists to help referees achieve Regional and Provincial Status.
