Coaching


Fancy becoming a referee?

There has never been a better time to become a referee.  For most referees who are interested in working in the minor leagues there is no shortage of appointments at all levels of minor football.

On the other hand, for those who want to make a career out of refereeing there is hardly a week goes by without Scottish officials jetting off for international appointments.  There is clear career path and those with the right attitude, abilities and determination can reach the top level of domestic and international football.

At this end of this season Referees from the Edinburgh and District Referees’ Association were again involved in a number of excellent matches and finals at all levels.  This year James Bee acted as an Assistant Referee in the Scottish Cup Final.  Furthermore all Edinburgh’s Class One officials have featured in the SPL this season and many have represented the association and their country in international matches.

If you are interested in finding about becoming a referee, please email our Coaching Instruction team leader, Mark Doyle at instructor@edinburghrefs.com

The new entrants class is the only route to get to the top in Scottish Refereeing, so come along and give it a go!
