I'm fresh out of my training and as a follow up I was sent an email with a list containing the contacts from all of the local leagues. I picked a couple of Saturday leagues and a Sunday league.
Over the weekend I received some fixtures assignments via the FA full time website. One of which is as the assistant referee next week in a premier division game which I think will be great experience for me at this stage to learn from a more experienced ref.
My question is whether applying for multiple leagues is a good idea? I'm unsure how sophisticated the FA full time website is and whether my availability/assigned games is shared between different leagues? Otherwise I can see a situation occurring where I could potentially be double booked (i.e. League A has already scheduled a game for the 1st September and League B goes off the availability I sent in via a spreadsheet and double books me).
Given that I'm new to this I wasn't sure how much need these Saturday leagues would have for junior refs but it seems they are quite happy to give me a chance
