  Referee Coordinator & Licensing Class Organizer
   
  *assures that Licensing Class is booked + directs participants to actively participate in Class.
*creates/manages Pre-Season Jamboree schedule with Coaching Coord(s)
*helps Assignor & Mentoring Program Coord throughout season; at times, places  temporary blocks/holds
on AR & CR positions to achieve Mentor & Mentee match ups
*works with Assignor & Mentoring Program Coord to identify training paths best suited for brand new Center Referees
(reading material, mentoring ‘in’ & ‘at’ games, etc.)
* helps Mentoring Program Coordinator recruit/train future Mentors
*enlists the help of other seasoned Refs and/or Mentors to create a Library on in-house and other written / online
material relevant to learning LOTG and basics of officiating.
 

Assignor

 
*assigns newly licensed refs to Jamboree AR and CR positions
*sends refs who are ‘new-to-league’ and/or league refs seeking upgrades in game levels thru the Mentoring ‘pipeline’
for feedback or additional training
*time permitting, works with Mentoring Program Coord & Ref Coord, using temporary blocks/holds on positions to achieve
Mentoring & Mentee match ups
*usually a Mentor, benefits by getting to know players’ skill levels for upcoming ‘game level’ requests
*supports Mentoring Mission by temporarily deferring search for officials to Mentoring Program Coordinator who quickly creates match ups of mentors / mentees
 

Assignor might have rec'd feedback from Referees / Referee Coordinator / Coaches / Mentoring Program Coordinator about a particular official who is always out of position or way too slow, etc.

On his / her own, Assignor asssigns a Mentor to 1-2 regular games with that official and sends short note to Mentor and / or Mentoring Program Coordinator about the situation.

Assignor is often the contact for Coaches who request officials for stand-alone scrimmage games. The Referee Coordinator and /or Mentoring Program Coordinator "snap into action" by filling at least 2 of the 3 positions with the Mentee and a Mentor. By agreement, Mentoring Program Coordinator's temporary "hold" on positions( for the purpose of securing Mentor & Mentee matchups) could be limited to 24-36-48 hours.... giving the positions back to the Assignor if still open at end of the agreed time.

Successful / Optimal Mentoring occurs when Referee Coordinator, Assignor, Mentoring Program Coordinator combine their talent and energy: New Referees and the game that we serve WIN when we work together well.

Mentoring Program Coordinator

 
*recruits / trains / assigns Mentors to Jamboree AR / CR mentoring slots and throughout entire season whenever possible in both 'IN' and 'AT' the game mentor capacities
*teaches Mentors special 'on the spot / in the game training technique' : "How & Why to Lead with the Compliment" ( see Chapter 3, Mentoring 101, 102, 103 Under 103, Ninja Mentoring-Unbridled Mentoring)
*works with & sends feedback to Ref Coord & Assignor on Mentor / Mentee matchups in regular games & especially in scrimmage games.
*uses Ref Coord / Assignor online assigning tools so as to temporarily block AR/CR slots for Mentor/Mentee matchups
*enlists the help of other seasoned Refs and/or Mentors to create a Library of in-house and other written / online material relevant to learning LOTG and basics of refereeing


The Rotary Engine of Training functions at it's highest level of performance when all three department managers
