Refereeing

This section is devoted to referees and includes information about all aspects of officiating. Referees perform a vital role in the game and with the growth in popularity of football the demand for match officials is increasing. The Gloucestershire Football Association currently has over 750 registered referees.

The Gloucestershire Football Association referees are under the guidance of Roger Goodwin(Referees Development Officer) who can be contact by email at roger.goodwin@gloucestershirefa.com

Many of our referees started on courses organised by the Gloucestershire FA. If you have just finished playing and you want to give something back to the game or if you wish to start a career in refereeing then contact Roger Goodwin.

Basic Courses are run throughout the year in all parts of the County to allow people to become qualified referees. More details about the different types of referee courses that are offered can be found under the heading ‘Courses’ or 'Mini Soccer Courses'.

FIFA have released their law amendments for the 2011-12 season. These can be found under related documents on the right hand side of this page.
