Hey guys,
I am 16 and a level 7 referee. How do you get into becoming a lino?

Note to self.... No talking until at least 08:30. I'm not used to such a lie-in. Lol
I'll amend my first post.
To run the line on the supply league, you need to be a level 7 (which you are) and you need to have completed the FA fitness test held by your County FA. I'm sure it's the same across the country but in Cornwall you can officiate at one step higher and line two steps higher. Then it's a case of working your way up the ladder.
@DB ... he said he is a level 7 referee ... ya silly sausage ...
@Reuben Watt excuse our illiterate friend here, its very early in the morning!
to become an assistant referee you can sign up to many local Saturday OA leagues (@Brian Hamilton is usually a good source for the right contacts etc - I can only help in Essex) they usually seek assistance from anything from level 5 to level 7 referees to run the lines in these games.
to become a professional AR, you then need to make it to (I believe) National league level referee ... from there you either pursue the referee route to make it to the top, or choose the AR route to make it to the top ...
I hope this helps?
have you been refereeing long?
