Good morning all,
Been reffing for about 4 months now, after 10 years of playing/ managing/ running clubs at Grassroots Level.
Thought id turn my hand to refereeing, thoroughly enjoying it. Been doing my local league on a sat and sunday. And a couple of lines midweek for other various leagues.
My only issue is after turning 30 this year, all the help and guidance promised by the CFA seems like bulls**t. My personal opinion is that they view me as past it and would rather focus on the younger people coming through. One example is this "mentor" seeing me 4 times in my first three months. Not had so much as a phone call or visit.
My personal aim is to climb as high up the ladder as physically possibly whilst at the same time being realistic.
Anyone else had similar issues please
