It was said that "the league have gone above and beyond providing additional training and workshops to help referees develop and providing a mentor scheme which provides support and encouragement to all associated referees"
Kickstart are just one of two leagues in the country to have ever picked up one of these "Highly Commended" awards for providing a positive environment for referees. League Chairman Paul Griffiths said after the awards ceromony, "We're over the moon to receive this award. This award was received by ourselves tonight but is dedicated to the hard work that the referees mentor team, and referees secretary have done over the past seasons. Its great for everyone to be recognised for their hard work and we're looking forward now to what the season ahead holds for everyone, its a very presigeous acheivement and were proud to be a part of it"
The new season starts in September and the development workshops are already in place for the new referees that join us as well as our current experienced officials for next season.
