Officer for Somerset, will be running a Referees Course at Frys some time in
June/July.
The course will take place over 2 weekends. This will be a Friday night, followed by all day Saturday for 2 weekends. A weekend off then a multiple choice exam one evening.
The cost will be £25 for 14 & 15 year olds and £45 for over 16s.
As an incentive and with a view to the FA getting some value from running the course, after you have refereed 6 league match's you will be eligible for a refund, £10 for 14 &15 year olds & £30 for over 16s. This makes the cost of the course £15. (With Avon Youth League Match Fees now £20, after 6 games this will see a profit of £105!!)

Even if you decide not to continue after a couple of games just think how much better you will appreciate why the referee has signalled or given the decision the way that he has.....but that's me being pessimistic. If you don't give it a go you will never know if you might just enjoy it!
