Then it should be up to those individuals to find someone to look towards or the veterans to take them under your wing. We have a few of those "mentor programs" through the association and it often is not something I see that really works. One reason is when you assign the people, it is possible that they are not in a situation or of the personality to work together. At least if you build a relationship on your own, it is more likely to work because someone has a desire to make it work. Usually, these are developed by going to a game directly and watching and talking with the officials or seeing each other at a social and just having a conversation.
