Become A Referee

For specific information about referee training costs and courses in England, please contact your County Football Asociation.
County FA contact details can be found on The Football Association web site page (http://www.thefa.com/GetIntoFootball/Referee.aspx)

The cost of Basic Referee Training in England is shown below:
The breakdown of the minimum costs for a new referee taking the basic training course are shown below:

Training Fee (16 & Over) £30.00 (Under 16) £10.00
Registration Fee (16 & Over) £15.00 (Under 16) £15.00
CRB Check (16 & Over) £12.00 (Under 16) £12.00
Child Protection (16 & Over) £12.00 (Under 16) £12.00

These costs are variable dependant on the age of the new recruit and whether they are compelled to undertake Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks and Child Protection Training.

If you would like to consider becoming a referee, you need to be able to answer "yes" to the following questions:
1. Are you at least 14 years of age?
2. Are you reasonably fit?
3. Is your eyesight O. K.? (with spectacles or contact lenses if worn)

If you are able to answer "yes" to all of those questions, you now need to find the local instructor, who will be almost certainly attached to your local Referees Association branch.

If you are close to one of the listed branches, please call them and ask about local courses.

If not, find the number of your local County Football Association from their web-site or via the telephone directory (look for the County name, e.g. Hampshire F.A.). They will give you the local Training Officer's contact details.
