What is everyone's aims, in terms of what Level they want to reach during their refereeing career?
Very similar to my refereeing story. I was one of the coaches for my son's team, and enjoyed doing the middles (even at mini-soccer) more than the coaching. So went official. Still stick mainly to youth (U15,U16,U18 mainly), and the odd vets games. Can't do Saturday's and preferred the youth games on a Sunday to the hungover OA matches I did. Much more interested in seeing the younger generation be outside running around than glued to their screens and PS4's, and refereeing helps towards that.As I have on here before, I have absolutely no refereeing ambition what so ever!.......... I am being serious!...

Mid-40's, no desire to climb the ladder. What are club marks?
someone has already mentioned age not being a barrier, but at 47 i'm being realistic and saying that i do this to enjoy football from another perspective
If I can get one. You can ...Got to 5 which I was delighted with. Still haunted by the fact that 17 years after starting I have yet to referee a cup final. League or county, it doesn't matter. I've had a cruddy repêchage thing and tournament finals but I've never had a proper one. I'm not greedy, U12s middle will do for me. Maybe this year...
