Observer and Mentor Workshops
Interested in developing the next generation of referees? Apply to become a mentor or an observer!
Observers will play an integral part in the Cheshire FA promotion scheme. We expect observers to be available at least once a month on either a Saturday or Sunday. For each game, an observation report will be completed and sent in to Cheshire FA via the Observer Coordinator. Observers will require an in-date, FA accepted CRC.
Mentors will play an integral part in new referee development. We expect our mentors to be available at least once a month on either a Saturday or Sunday. For each game, a short mentor report will be completed and sent in to Cheshire FA via the Mentor Coordinators. Mentors will require an in-date, FA accepted CRC.
As a Cheshire FA Referee Mentor you will receive a £10 fee for every newly qualified referee that returns their 5 game form.
