Training & Workshops
Develop your Refereeing skills
FrOM LOCAL FOOTBALL ON A SUNDAY MORNING TO THE FA CUP FINAL, ALL FOOTBALL NEEDS REFEREES.
With nearly 900 registered referees officiating across Staffordshire, we want to support all referees to progress their skills to their full potential.
Anyone can become a referee too - whether you're a footy mad youngster looking for a career in football, or an older player wanting to give something back after you've hung your boots up - all that's required is a genuine passion for the game.
Staffordshire FA offers a range of programmes for new and existing referees.
Referee CPD
The goal of our Referee CPD programme is to train and retain referees to ensure that every official in the county has the opportunity to access regular training and support from Staffordshire FA.
We will be hosting a number of CPD events in the county during the 2017-18 season aimed at giving qualified officials the chance to enhance their learning. To register your interest in attending a CPD event, please contact the Staffordshire FA Referee Development Officer on the details below.
