We offer the a variety of Course Options to suit the aims of all individuals.

Traditionally the route most will take is the Basic Referees’ Course in order to qualify for 11v11 and 9v9 football. However, alternatives are available for those looking for a qualification towards GCSE’s, Duke of Edinburgh Awards and for different formats of the game (e.g. Futsal, Mini Soccer, Small Sided).
