The FA Referees Course
THE FA REFEREES COURSE
The FA Referee Course is designed to equip new referees with the key skills and knowledge they will need to be able to referee grassroots football matches safely and effectively. It is for people aged 14 and over who want to referee mini soccer, 9 v 9 and/or 11 v 11 football.
The course comprises online learning on the Laws of the Game and face to face training. You must complete the online learning before attending the face to face training. You will also need to complete online safeguarding training before attending the face to face training.
We have produced a Referee Learner Pack for the 2024/25 season which covers all stages of the course - from prerequisites and course content, to how to register once you are qualified.
