Recruitment & Retention Material for Clubs and Districts

Working together to increase Match Officials numbers

As we continue to recover from our Match Official shortage, we are providing additional tools to our Members in order to assist in the recruitment and retention at the Club and District level.

In 2019 Ontario Soccer registered over 9,000 Match Officials - in 2021 we registered less than 3,500 - including newly accredited Match Officials through the Entry Level and Small Sided Accreditation programs.

Ontario Soccer will also be promoting through social media and on our website with the materials you see below.  We encourage you all to promote on your websites and social media channels too! You can also use the hi-resolution copies to print and post on your Club/District facility notice boards.

Let's all work together to promote Match Officials Recruitment and Retention and get everyone back on the field to ensure we have a safe and fun environment for all involved.

For any questions, please contact Nicky Pearson, Senior Manager Match Officials Development (npearson@ontariosoccer.net

CLUB AND DISTRICT RECRUITMENT TOOLS

READ FIRST - Graphics for Social Media

These graphics are great for many uses, but were designed at a size compatible with most social media posts.

Choose a great graphic that works with your Club's recruitment strategy, add your logo, and save them all together as a jpg. 

Believe it or not, Powerpoint works very well for this.

Click on  'Inserting your Logo and Information onto the Graphics'  file or the document below for more specific instructions.
