2025 Female Referee Course
The Junior Football Match Official (also previously known as the Level 4 course) is the entry level referee qualification for full-sized matches in junior football. This course explores key refereeing topics providing current interpretations of technical concepts, including challenges, handball, offside, game management, match control and positioning concepts.
Football West will be holding a female only course at the Sam Kerr Football Centre in Welshpool on Monday 14 July from 6pm - 9pm. The course is usually valued at $200 but will be free for all attendees. Everyone who completes the course will receive a full referee kit, whistle and cards.
Becoming a referee is incredibly rewarding and comes with great benefits. It is an excellent way to join a community and develop personally; building leadership, confidence, resilience and communication skills. It provides a clear career pathway and is a great way to make money and stay fit at the same time!
