A number of clubs have requested that the County FA organise a workshop for their members and parents alike to have a better understanding of what is required for a Club Referee.

In response Hertfordshire FA has created two workshops that clubs can access:

Club Referee Workshop

This workshop will be divided into two parts, starting with a basic introduction to refereeing a football match.

This will include, managing and controlling the game, whistle techniques, keeping a record of the game and administering cautions/dismissals and reporting misconduct.

The second session will assist you with running the line as a club linesman, with specifics on your involvement, flagging techniques and a guide to the offside law.

This workshop is suitable for coaches, parents, managers and club officials.
Duration: 3 Hours
Requirements: Club to provide a venue
Cost: £10

Club Linesman's Workshop

This workshop will give you the hands on experience needed to take up the flag with confidence the next time someone shouts: "Can anyone run the line?"

You will be given a basic understanding of the Offside Law.

The session will be run by Hertfordshire FA Referee Development Officer and FIFA Assistant Referee, Phil Sharp.

Duration: 90 minutes
Requirements: Club to provide a venue
Cost: Free
