email received from Sussex F.A. - Distances aren't great, Hastings 55 miles, Eastbourne 43 and Southwick 22 - and would have to juggle Southwick with '
proper' football on Sundays, but Sussex do seem to be encouragingly pro-active which is good. Anyway, i've applied, so i can only be rejected at the very worst
Dear Referee
The Sussex County FA is looking for referees to take the Futsal Referee Conversion Course.
This sport, the only 5-a-side football recognised by FIFA, is beginning to grow, particularly in the Hastings, Eastbourne and Southwick areas of the county.
Hastings sees the introduction of a Sunday evening league for adults, Southwick Sunday daytime for youths and Eastbourne continues with a Men’s league on Thursday evenings and Women’s on a Friday evening.
The conversion course is particularly targeting referees who would be able to referee on these competitions.
The course will be held in the Hastings area on Monday 24th March registration 6.45pm for a 7.00pm start, will include, theory and practical work before written multiple-choice exam, with a close of approx 10.00pm.
Although there is no cost to attend, numbers are limited, so a quick positive reply is required to secure a place.
Note: Referees already qualified as Futsal Referees need not attend, but if you are interested in refereeing on these competitions please let me know.
Regards
