Female only Referee Course
Female Only Referee Course
For anyone thinking about starting their refereeing journey in our County, there’s never been a better time to get involved.
With the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 taking place this Summer, one of the world’s biggest ever women’s sporting events is set to inspire the next generation of players, officials, coaches and fans.
And female officials will play a critical role in growing the women’s and girls’ game, as without them there would be no game.
Our aspiration is to increase the number of female referees in our area. One way we plan to achieve this is by running a female only referee course on Wednesday 30 August at The FDC, Bowthorpe.
Our female only referee course is a great chance to meet some of our female referee role models, while also starting your refereeing journey with other like-minded women and girls.
Once qualified, there’s a range of exciting opportunities available. From refereeing at recreational festivals, to officiating in local leagues and cup competitions, or even pursuing a career in refereeing.
