Welcome to Making the Call, a Community and Mentorship Program for Referees
Making the Call aims to bring referees together in an informal, fun setting to build skills and community. It helps referees take the field with refreshed skills and stronger relationships with their fellow referees.
At Making the Call events, our referees expect to:
Get to know fellow refs;Get to know your assignor and United leadership;
Learn about relevant, applicable topics;
Share your thoughts, tips, or tricks and be heard;
Have fun!!
Plan to come ready to engage, have fun, and learn new techniques that can be used in your next game
If you have ideas for events, topics, or referee support infrastructure, please email us at [email protected]
