MOLTEN SPARTAN SOUTH
MIDLANDS LEAGUE
PROMOTION SEASON
2007-2008
Now we are at the end
of another playing season, it is a good time to review
the first year of the new National Supply League
Assessment Scheme. The FA introduced the scheme in
August 2007 for all Supply Leagues. Previously, only the
Level 4 referee was assessed. Now all three officials
are.
As most of you will
already know, 5 of our referees achieved promotion to
Level 3, messrs Mackey, Mellor, O’Donnell, Flanagan and
Serrano. A fantastic achievement, bringing great credit
to our League.
In total we completed
235 assessments during the 2007-2008 promotion season
out of 260 that were planned. This amounts to 51% of
total matches refereed by Level 4s. The FA wants a 50%
coverage of matches, so we have achieved that target.
All Level 4 referees had at least 6 and some 7
assessments, all of which were reported by different
assessors.
My grateful thanks go
to all the assessors on the League and to all the Level
4s for their co-operation and commitment. Also a big
vote of thanks to all the assistant referees who were
out with the Level 4s on the Premier League games. I
know that your experience and advice has been a great
help to the Level 4s.
We also completed 366
assessments on assistant referees. I hope that all those
receiving a report found them helpful and gave them some
pointers for further improvement as an assistant
referee. There is no doubt that the standard of
assistant referees on the League is very high and this
is borne out by the marks given to assistants by
assessors. A mark of 70 is described as good and the
standard expected. The average mark for assistants is
well over this and quite close to the 80 mark which is
defined as very good. Still, there is always room for
improvement, so I hope all of the 120 of you who
received a report got some benefit from it.
If anyone has any
comments about the assessment scheme, please do contact
me and have a chat or send an
email.
I am always on the lookout for new assessors, so if you
fancy combining this with your league official duties
please let me know. The Association has been very
supportive of the scheme and together we can continue to
improve it and raise the standards of performance even
higher.
Have a great close
season and I look forward to meeting up with you when
the new season starts on Saturday August 9th
2008.
