6. Mentor Program Program started 3 years ago in Regina.
Primary focus is to help beginning referees to learn how to officiate with the help of an experienced referee.
Program was expanded into high school season in some districts in year 2 and last year was expanded into more areas.
Sask Volleyball is committed to reaching all areas of the province as best we can to develop all referees.

7. Requests for mentors can be sent to Jacques.
We currently run referee clinics in all districts.
We will now be running mentoring tournaments to help develop referees.
We have an agreement in place with RHSAA for Regina league as well as SHSAA for playoffs.
