Each county has a different way of organising pre-season matches. My parent county leaves it to the clubs to find officials and my other county this season is using the centre circle app. But for now its the more senior clubs Step 3-6 that are looking for officials. August will be the step 7 etc...

Same in Beach Soccer but that changed to a sideways arm movement. And means its a more consistant count.

TO ALL STEP 2 – 6 NLS & LEVEL 3W MATCH OFFICIALS I hope you are keeping well and able to enjoy a few ‘football free’ weeks as we all prepare for the 2025/26 season. As many match officials are aware, the PGMOL have recently announced a new kit partnership with PUMA. This comes as part of...

Your probably all have the email - but the Puma range has launched and urrently a few discounts on https://www.therefstop.co.uk/shop/ I'm sure we will still be mainly in Nike still as I believe the Puma range is for the top levels.. "From the Premier League to Grassroots, the Pro DNA Match Kit...

If you look at the image you raise your hand above your head and count down from 5.. Awaiting to see it used in a grass game yet.... ;) - Maybe the Womens Euros...

I believe its around £30 in my area - ensures your serious about doing it.

Your need to contact Suffolk FA - https://www.suffolkfa.com/referee Get in Touch County Support Officer - Ruth Ward 01449 616606 (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) Email: ruth.ward@suffolkfa.com

Not sure abou the rest of you but I think the FA's approach to the retentions this year was strange - took ages to send the merit table - but no retention email - just a MOAS invite to the fitness test.

Do you know what your local county is as there is bound to be someone on here in that area..

Going by last year - today should be when we find out if we are retained etc...

Adding mine as well.. 103 games in total 63 Referee 40 Linesman 20 in the Womens game (Mix of Lines and middles in the WNL, WRL, Womens FA Cup) - including 2 Stadium matches with 6000+ 11 Friendlies Rest were in Wessex, U19 Premier League, Southern League, Isthmian, Bournemouth Leagues Dorset...

To anyone who got their L4 today (this monting 22-05-25) - well done and as they say the hard work starts now and for those who missed out go again and don't give up.. I guess the full list will be released soon.

This is quite a good definition from an American official - https://www.facebook.com/reel/3155991411218857

All I will say is don't beat yourself up over it. They knew what they were doing, constantly calling for arms etc - never in a disrepectful way.. Just persistant.. Hold your head up and move on...

AT a guess it is Matchday the app that is being referred to. It allows teams to input the data from a game and have it synced with Full-Time. e.g. goal scorers - referee's name etc.

As above contact your Referee Development Officer from your county. Their contact details should be on the relevant county FA page. As some counties may have different criteria - e.g. like attending training etc.

For me, watching on TV, the issue I had was with the Arsenal kit - the numners were not visiable unless they used the pitchside "zoomed" in cameras (White shirts and white numbering)

One thing to remember on the Mid-Season promotions - that "half-year" is your "freebe" so you need to get to speed quickly..

WHy not just merge it all into MOAS - that was meant to be rolled out to all leagues etc...
