Do you want to become a Referee or learn more about the Laws of the Game?

 

2013 Referee Courses


Level One Course (full):
This is a 10 – 12 hour course (four, three hour sessions) where we take an in depth look at the Laws of the Game (LotG) and an explanation of how you can start refereeing. This includes a test at the end of the course.  This course is aimed more for the people who are likely to take up refereeing.
 

Level One Course (Online):
This new course has been developed so that you can do most of the course at home, in your own time. The date set for the course is the only session you physically attend a session with an instructor. This session will be about 3 hours in duration and includes the last couple of modules/ units, discussion on other parts of the course and refereeing in general and a test on the Laws of the Game. Ideally you should have completed the online part of the course before the date of the offline part for which you registered.

This course too, is aimed more for the people who are likely to take up refereeing.
