Mentor & Coaching
Do you need a referee coach or mentor?
Whats the difference a mentor will help, guide and give advice when a day doesnt go to plan. If you require a coach be prepared to take constructive critism, to be the best you must know when you are wrong, you need to learn to reflect on your own game....honestly
Personal Training
Fitness Training and mixing with other officials, the fitness needs in refereeing are often different to those of players. Referees can't hide on teh field of play. Dynamic sprints when you've just covered the length of the pitch.

A new Modern Referee Association – With YOUR development at the forefront
If you are a referee or looking to become a qualified referee, this is the place for you.
We will be working hard with all participants within the game – training, educating and supporting.
Our priorities are to help all officials achieve what they want to achieve through, training, coaching, active training and a great mentor scheme. We will also be working hard with all participants within the game – training, educating and supporting.
Our new referee association will help you achieve your ambitions as a referee by providing you with support, training and mentoring from experienced officials. We’ll also give you the opportunity to develop your skills, by watching other referees, supporting you at your games and giving you the chance to succeed.
We know that it is hard for most people to find the right information and training resources they need when it comes to being a qualified referee. It’s also difficult for new referees to get the mentorship and coaching they need from experienced referees.
