Female Referee Mentorship Program
The East Bay Referee Association has created a mentorship program to help female referees meet and learn from other female referees. The goal is to help females flourish as referees in youth soccer by building confidence and knowledge via female-only training sessions and connecting with their peers.
This program started in 2021 and is open to all girls and women interested in refereeing. The Female Mentorship program is led by two female referees, Cecilia Chavez and Adriana Contreras.
Training dates will be provided when they are scheduled and you are welcome to contact Cecilia and Adriana directly at any time.
