Just wondering what the dress code on arrival for Junior/Youth matches is. Reading a lot about wearing suits and ties. I thought a smart Tracksuit would be acceptable.
Thank you WelshRef01 That's just the sort of tips I need. Cheers mate!Welcome to the forum, and welcome to refereeing!
To begin with I used to turn up in a smart tracksuit (I started off with the A&H PGMOL stuff before I moved to Wales), at places I didn't know I would have my kit on underneath, but as I got more familiar with venues I started wearing a full tracksuit.
I used to referee at a local academy regularly which had good changing facilities, if it is at a park on a Saturday morning, likelihood is there will be no changing rooms so start off with your kit.
Shirts, ties, suits whatever come into it at a later stage, but hopefully that will come soon for you!
Thanks Tino. I think Finals are a long way in the distance, but you never know...As above a lot of youth games may not have changing rooms so tracksuit with kit underneath. Finals tends to be suits but if you are not sure ring your RDO or the league secretary. If working in a team of 3 ask the ref and he will advise you the dress code he wants.
Top hat and tails for every game for me.....Just wondering what the dress code on arrival for Junior/Youth matches is. Reading a lot about wearing suits and ties. I thought a smart Tracksuit would be acceptable.
