Ontario Soccer recognizes the importance of developing officials at every age and stage of their careers, from grassroots to elite levels, with a focus on age-appropriate learning and ongoing mentorship. With this, the Take 5 Pilot Project was introduced as part of the #NoRefNoGame initiative to help guide the development of Match Officials' over time, ensuring that they reach their full potential in a systematic and supportive manner from all stakeholders.

Please be advised: Take 5 is a pilot program to be used in specific leagues/competitions under the direct supervision of Ontario Soccer, only. Take 5 is not to be used by Match Officials unless they have been explicitly directed to do so by Ontario Soccer Match Official Development Staff.
