Chris McNab - Referee Support Scheme Co-ordinator
Chris is a Category 3 Referee and is the Referee Support
Scheme Co-ordinator of the Association supporting new Trainees into their refereeing
career.
The Referee Support Scheme Co-ordinator ensures that Trainees
have a smooth introduction into Refereeing once they pass parts 1 & 2
of the Referee Exam.
For the Third part of the Refereeing Exam, the Co-ordinator first seeks out experienced and willing members of the Association who will offer their services as Advisors to the new Trainees. The Advisor will be there to occasionally observe Trainees on their appointed matches and to give advice and encouragement on any part of the game where needed.
It is the Referee Support Scheme Co-ordinator’s responsibility to support the Trainees and organise for them to be assessed by their Advisor
After successful completion of this game the Co-ordinator is on hand where necessary, to continue to allocate further games if this is required by the Trainee. Alternatively, the Co-ordinator will find a suitable Football League for the new Referee to start off their career. The Referee Support Scheme Co-ordinator is always at the end of the phone to help where and when he can.
