The conference, which has been organised by The RA-FA Youth Council, is taking place on Friday 11-Saturday 12 July at the Hinckley Island Hotel. There is also a special practical training event taking place on the Friday at St George’s Park, when guests will include international and national officials such as Andre Marriner, Stuart Burt and Michael Oliver.

The event is staged to offer referees access to high profile figures from the modern game and inspire them towards fulfilling their potential and progressing up the refereeing ladder.

Whilst our ten aspiring young officials have been selected to attend, you too can get involved. Attendance at the event is free for RA members, though some activities over the course of the conference will require payment.

Norfolk FA’ss Referee Development Officer, David Robinson, said:

“This is the biggest and the best national training event around at the moment and will provide our young attendees with a memorable experience.

“Do remember that if you’d like to register to also attend you must be a member of the Referees Association to qualify, so ensure you have renewed your membership with your local branch before you apply.”
