Assessing Scheme
|
|
|
|
The London Football Association runs
an Assessing Scheme under which experienced observers watch
a referee officiate on a match and then provide a detailed
written report on the performance witnessed.
|
| |
|
The purpose is to coach the referee,
confirming where his or her strengths lie and suggesting
ways of improving problem areas. The design of the Assessing
Scheme, being based on a one-off match observation and a
detailed written report, is completely different from the
design of the Mentoring Scheme, which relies on an ongoing
informal relationship between the referee and the mentor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Assessing Scheme is targeted primarily at
referees participating in the London FA Promotion Scheme, all of
whom have been fully briefed on the procedure for submitting
matches for assessment. The Assessing Scheme is however available
for use by all referees registered with London FA, irrespective of
whether they are applying for promotion. The purpose is after all
to assist referees in London to build on their strengths and to
eliminate their weaknesses, thus becoming better officials. Better
officials have better games, thus leading to greater enjoyment for
all participants (including the referee!).

If you are a referee registered with London FA but
not currently a member of the Promotion Scheme, please CLICK
HERE if you would like to submit a game for
assessment. Please remember that the LFA cannot guarantee to
assess every referee every time an assessor is requested: the
availability of assessors is limited and priority is given to
candidates participating in the Promotion Scheme.

|
|

The London FA Assessment Scheme is urgently in
need of more assessors. Are you an experienced senior official who
feels that you would like to put something back into the game by
assisting new up-and-coming referees in taking the early steps on
the ladder to the top?
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Ideally, the London FA would like to see every
candidate on the Promotion Scheme assessed at least four times a
season (all by different assessors) or five times when possible.
The new “enhanced promotion scheme” will increase this number
still further as it will be necessary to watch some candidates at
least six times in a year, rather than a minimum of three times as
required by the FA.

If:-
|
|
|
You have assessed for us in the
past and stopped because of other commitments but are now
available again; or |
|
|
You haven’t assessed before but
would like to offer your advice to younger officials |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
then please CLICK
HERE so that your interest can be logged.
Everyone expressing an interest will be contacted and places will
be offered on training courses wherever possible.

As for commitment, our present team of assessors
vary from “anywhere anytime” people through to those who say
“I’ll ring when I’m available”. Obviously it’s better
for planning if you can offer definite dates when you will be
available, but we will try to accommodate anyone who wishes to
offer their services.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
We are especially in need of assessors in South
West London and West London; to a lesser extent we also need more
assessors in South East London. Even if you aren’t able to help
in these particular areas, we would still like to hear from you.
