  • Director of Instruction: - ELC coming up in next couple weeks and brought up with guest Betty Schmeck the concerns FWSRA had with new out of association instructors coming to teach. Betty assured FWSRA board that this association is doing the “right thing” but that she did need to get more of the instructors actually teaching as only 25% are doing the work now. FWSRA asked if there could be instructor pay for two instructors and that FWSRA would have one of its instructors teach along with the new instructor to ensure that the “extra” instructional material is presented. Betty agreed to do this so FWSRA will plan on having Lorenzo team teach with the 4 other instructors at the upcoming ELC. Betty also went on to say that the curriculum for the ELC is being re-written to include much more “field practicum” and less “book” time.
  • Director of Mentoring – no report
  • Director of Assessment – Scott brought up concerns with sideline conduct and asked if there is a formal process for the leagues to look at the comments on the match reports. President stated that this was the intent but the system report out functions do not currently allow for league view in a summarized format. President stressed that FWSRA must continue to remind referees to deal with sideline misconduct quickly and appropriately and to report to their assignor any exceptionally poor behavior. Assignor can then notify FWU of said violations so that they can address with their teams.
