Level 3/4 Pathway Choice

Fair enough. I can understand your rationale with specialist AR.

I think we'd have to discuss the overall topic in person to avoid misunderstanding. One problem with my posts, is it's not usually clear how serious I'm being with my opinions. Half the time, I'm just stirring up opinions without breaking the rules

Anyway, I'll probably just stick with dual as I do OK at both. My geography is not very stimulating at times. Zillions of clubs and very low attendances when compared to the national average. Some of the Step 4 assisting would be get repetatively dull
Actually, some of the Refereeing gets a bit stale, but to a lesser extent. Variation therefore remains the best tactic

Absolutely & i do feel sorry for some ARs these days with sometimes the small amounts of advice they are expected to provide, though they always have to be in the right place throughout, which some do not do.

From what I understood from the call today is that if you select to become a SAR at L4 then in the future you decide you want to referee again then you can, but it may be a step lower. The aim of it was that some people just want to run the line etc, so instead of having to wait you can select it straight away. But you do need to be promoted to L4 as a referee to make the choice. You can be a L5 and select that route up the ladder.
