This presentation is to form part of the Refresher or Winter Training programmes for ALL referees throughout Canada. It brings us BACK to BASICS, establishes a starting position from which all referees are expected to operate and a platform for development. It will provide assessors with the ability to measure performance, identify strengths and training needs for education and development to grow for the support of referees at whatever level they operate. It is based upon the recommendations and Guidance issued by FIFA and as such the CSA expects that its officials will work within these guidelines rather than operate unilaterally.
