The Pickering Soccer Club is one of 3 clubs in Ontario Soccer – with Oakville and Brampton – to be nominated to participate in a Match Officials Pilot Project with the U13 OPDL Program.
The project includes:
- Identifying up and coming Match Officials to be assigned to the Match Official Crews at home OPDL U13 Boys games
- The crews will be provided with mentoring at all OPDL game assignments
- The group will participate in weekly physical and classroom sessions to improve their game management skills
- Identifying match officials who can move up to higher age divisions both at the OPDL level and competitive level
- A recommendation at the end of the project to expand program in 2020 to all OPDL Club Licence holders
- Expansion of the Club’s Mentoring Program for recreational match officials
The PSC’s participation in this program will help the club continue to be a leader in the development of Match Officials
