Fresh and pioneering new approach to the training of new referees, with it being primarily
focussed on the practical training and learning of the skills required to referee a 9 v 9 or
11 v 11 football match.
The learning of the practical elements of refereeing re: their application and understanding
are facilitated on the course by FA Referee Tutors, with the candidate taking a greater
responsibility to learn the Laws of the Game through distance learning prior to, during
and after the practical sessions of the course.
This new and enhanced approach to training new football referees will, without doubt,
better prepare the candidate for the role as a referee.
Are there any age limits?
Anyone aged 14 or over can become a referee. There is no upper age limit but
candidates need to be fully able to participate in practical sessions. Until you reach the age
of 16, you will only be able to referee games involving children at least 1 year younger
than yourself.
Will I need to undertake FA Safeguarding Children Training?
All referees have to undertake FA Safeguarding Children training before they will be able
to register with the FA as a Referee. You should attempt to complete this before undertaking
training as a Referee; however this can be completed during the course and certification will
last 3 years. The cost of this is included in the course fee.
Will I need to undertake FA CRC (formerly CRB) check?
All referees aged 16 years or over who wish to officiate in youth football must undertake
an FA Criminal Records Check. This is a simple online process which can be completed
prior to the commencement of the course. Certification last for 3 years. The cost is
included in the course fee.
Pre-Course Work
You will be sent a pre-course pack, which will require you to completion and returning to Hampshire FA, full instructions will be sent to you with this pack. Should you not complete this pre-course work, you will be removed from the course.
