Development - take your skills to the next level

Basic Referees Course

Each course is run on a 5 module basis with Modules 1-3 being carried out during the dates shown and will include a mandatory FA Safeguarding Children workshop. Additionally the Referee candidate will be required to successfully complete a 2-part examination on the Laws of the Game.

Module 4 requires the candidate to referee 6 games of 11v11, some of which may be observed by a mentor.

Module 5 is a call back session which will consolidate all the training to that point.

The courses are available to anyone, male or female, aged 14 or over and will provide the candidate with the skills required to effectively referee a game of football.

Course costs for 2009/2010 are:

Age 14-15: £35 (of which £10 is refunded on completion of the 5 modules).

Age 16+: £55 (of which £30 is refunded on completion of the 5 modules).

Additionally, all candidates aged 18 and over will be required to complete a FA CRB check for which there is an additional £12 cost.

Within the cost of each course the referee candidate will receive a copy of the Laws of the Game, a Referee's Training Manual, the first years annual registration with the Oxfordshire FA and a starter pack (including T-shirt, whistle, red & yellow cards).
