Hey!
I havent been an active football ref in about 3 years and subsequently haven't been on this forum since then (so long ive forgotten the login details)
I am looking to get back into it over summer and then registering for the new season in August/Sept.
I'm thinking about emailing a few local clubs offering to ref their games/tournaments where they need a ref (potentially for reduced rates if need be) just to get back into refereeing football again. I've been refereeing other sports, mainly rugby (ew. i know.) so not a lapsed ref, just lapsed at reffing footy. Is this a good idea just to get the general feel of the game back before doing league games or should I just straight away approach a league and offer? Before I stopped I had just been promoted to a level 6. Thanks in advance for advice!
