Do you want to follow in their footsteps? Dorset FA are hosting a Basic Referees Course in January on the following dates:

Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th January 2016, both days run from 9.00am to 4.00pm

Wednesday 13th January from 6.30 to 9.00pm.

All candidates if required will have to complete the safe guarding children workshop, and to ensure that a current CRC is in place.

This course is specifically aimed at supporting those Dorset Youth League sides who are looking to become DCFA referee partner clubs. However the course is also open for any person seriously looking to become an active referee.
