Fancy becoming a referee?
New class to be held in Midlothian
Our next scheduled course will take place in Midlothian in
February. It will run on six consecutive Sundays at Dalkeith Campus, starting on February 26th and finishing on April 1st.
The class time shall be 10:30am to 4pm and the cost of the course is £30.
Upon completing your first full 11-a-side match, you shall become a
member of SFA Referees (Edinburgh & District) Association.
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 and Crawford Allan 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
playing fields 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.
The Midlothian course is the next scheduled entrance route to
refereeing, but there will also be other new classes throughout
2012.
If you are interested in the Midlothian class
or 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.
