Many of our referees started on courses organised by the Surrey County FA and are also members of one of the eleven Referees Societies in Surrey. 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 either Tim or Mark.
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 Offered’ and specific course details can be found under the heading ‘Up Coming Courses’.
