Quick question

[Jakefa]

Hi referees just one quick question what level do u have to be to referee fa youth cup

 

[Will_A]

I believe it's Level 4 for any middles in the earliest rounds. Last game I had was a few years ago and I have a L5 and L6 as my AR's.

Can confirm that I ran the line to a level 5 either last season or the season before in the competition, I was a 4 at the time.

Baffled me as to how it happened, but it wasn't a late appointment for anyone afair, so no idea what happened with that one.

5-4 candidate maybe?

I did a preliminary FA Youth Cup middle as a L5 last season.
Even in the next round I was AR to a L5.

I'm guessing that for the first couple of rounds it's more to do with the availability of L4s, rather than there being a preferred minimum level for the middle.

There are hundreds of games to cover nationally that early on in the competition.

5-4 candidate maybe?

Possibly, though he was an older chap who I don't recall mentioning promotion, but maybe he was going for it.

The fee structure would suggest Extra Preliminary through to 3rd qualifying would normally be level 4s or below if low coverage, 1st and 2nd round proper Level 3s, 3rd and 4th round proper Level 2s, then upwards from there

I was lucky enough to have a middle for the first game as a 5-4 candidate, would the county have any input on who should have these games?
