Referee's resources

Ever wondered how to go about becoming a referee or linesman?

Well here’s your chance to find out!

Refereeing can be exciting and challenging – whether you are putting something back into the game you love, earning a bit of pocket money or wanting to referee a World Cup final!

Refereeing is all about player management skills. It helps you to develop life skills and keeps your fitness level up without getting the bumps and bruises players get.

 Upcoming referee and linesman courses are available on an ongoing basis at the Football South Coast website.
