About refereeing
Refereeing requires far more than just knowledge of the Laws of the
Game. It is of course about gaining experience and above all commitment.
As an Association we
shall provide you with the knowledge required to start out in
refereeing but we expect a reasonable level of commitment in return.
This shall
include a commitment to your ongoing development, a commitment to
attend monthly meetings and also a commitment to attend physical
training on a regular basis.
Having completed the three stages of the New Entrance Course you shall
be registered as a Probationary member of the SFA Referees Association
(Edinburgh & District). This shall last for two seasons during
which you shall be expected to attend a further 6 modules on practical
refereeing before being categorised as an ordinary member of the
Association.
You will gain experience by actively refereeing and also through the
Coaching and Development we offer our members at our monthly meetings
which are held on the first Thursday of each month (August to May) at
the Marriot Hotel, Glasgow Road, 7.15pm. We are fortunate that within
our ranks we have some of Scotland’s top SPL officials such as referees
Calum Murray, George Salmond, Mike Tumilty, Crawford Allan and Brian Colvin along with top assistants
Graham Chambers and Keith Sorbie who lead monthly coaching sessions and
debates on points of play.
As new members we would expect you to attend monthly meetings whenever possible.
The Association meets each Tuesday at The University of
Edinburgh, Deans High School in Livingston and in Galashiels for
outdoor fitness training. Training begins at 7pm
with changing facilities available from 6:30pm. We shall be attending
training on one of the early weeks of the course
Training is free and in order to progress in refereeing attendance at training and monthly meetings are a basic requirement.
If you are interested in just finding out about becoming a referee please email
our Coaching Instruction team leader, Mark Doyle at instructor@edinburghrefs.com who will provide you with further details.
