Training and Development

Altrincham & District Referees’ Society provides training and development opportunities for all our registered Referees. We encourage those who are ambitious and aim to progress to the higher levels, but also care about supporting and developing the majority who provide their services on a weekly basis to the local leagues.

At our monthly meetings we commence with an opportunity to network with mentors and other referees (and eat food!), and then an indoor Society development session.

Every registered referee will receive invites to attend sessions. It is expected that all referees will show common courtesy and reply to each invite either confirming attendance or sending their apologies.

This structure allows us to assist our referees on a progression pathway to both the County FA and FA Regional CORE (Centre of Refereeing Excellence) structure.
