Having match officials available to referee junior games will help us to continue our growth and it is a great opportunity for parents, senior players, retired players and supporters to contribute to the club.

Those interested can complete a free 45 minute online 'Laws of The Game' training module and then a one day 'Principles and Practice'' course costing £45 which the club can cover.

Once those steps have been completed, match officials can join a society for support and assistance, and benefit from an ongoing training programme and access to universally recognised and accredited qualifications.

If you would like to become a match official or find out more information email info@chestergladiators.com or text 07512 355396.
