Be aware that the learner umpire is trying to processmany things, often for the first time, so when and howyou provide feedback and ask questions is important.Clear breaks in play (after a goal) and the time betweenquarters are good examples.Stage 3 – As you gain a greater understanding ofthe learner umpires abilities you can begin to providethem with greater exposure to periods of the matchwhere they are in control. You may even considerthem starting quarters, and completing paperwork.At any time you may utilise strategies described inearlier stages to support the umpires development.Stage 4 – By this stage the umpire is controllingextensive periods of the match. You may even beobserving from the sidelines. Again there is flexibilityin your approach. An example of this may be when anumpire advances to a higher standard or experiencesa challenging period during a match. At any time youmay use strategies from earlier stages to help supportand encourage the umpires development.MODEL BGAME ONEShadow the mentor duringfirst quarter.GAME ONETake control of second quarterin the game.GAME ONETake control of the final quarter.GAME TWOMove to one-umpire systemand umpire whole match.GAME THREEProgress to higher gradecompetition.30UMPIRE MENTOR PROGRAM MANUAL
