The Ref Stop

The FA Refereeing Course

This would be very helpful for new officials. In my first game, I had zero idea what to do before the game. Before the most recent game I refereed, I saw a newly qualified official who was my age struggling also on a different pitch at the same venue. I asked him if he wanted to watch what I did before he did and he looked 100% confident when he went and did it afterwards. This definitely needs to be done if possible.
Absolutely. As soon as I got my first appointment, I found a match in the league I had registered with and went to watch the game, paying attention to the ref and what they did. It gave me so much more confidence going into my first match.
