Officials Education & Development
HIGH PERFORMANCE
As part of our Referee High Performance Referee Pathway, we continued with growth and expansion of our referee education programs. 2019 saw the establishment of the Regional Referee Program to which in particular the SouthWest Region which now has nine participants along with facilitator Daryl Fishwick. In 2020 we will look to replicate similar introductions into different regions within Western Australia.
Continuing through the pathway the WABL Referee Development Program is evolving rapidly by which we took over 20 participants for this newly introduced program by which facilitators include Rod Hislop, Daniel Coffey, Kyle Easther and Nick Sokolich. With the introduction for the WRDP this allows for a pathway to participants to the previously established SBL Referee Development Program and Elite Referee Development Program.
With these programs this allows for facilitators to participate being active High Performance Referee Coaches and/or Referees.
With the establishment of the Pathway for Referee Development Programs this
establishes a culture to which also provides High Performance incentives such as selection to the relevant Development Tours.
