NEWS: New Level 4 Referees’ Course to be held in mid October at Leisuretime Sports Precinct
FOOTBALL Federation Victoria (FFV) in conjunction with the Geelong Region Football Committee is attempting to address the severe shortage in local referee numbers by holding yet another outdoor Referees’ Level 4 course that will be held at the Leisuretime Sports Precinct on Saturday October 13.
A recent course in August attracted a record field of 40 participants, thus forcing FFV to schedule another course for those that missed out last time round.
This training program, which is aimed at match officials officiating in junior and youth matches, consists of theory modules, practical sessions and practical mentoring in matches as a referee and assistant referee.
Referees will be provided with a nationally accredited Level 4 Referee’s certificate upon completion of the course and will be permitted to referee both Futsal Geelong and Geelong Social Sevens’ matches, as well as all FFV administered matches in the wider Geelong region.
To undertake the training program, the participants must be at least 13 years of age and have successfully passed the online ‘Laws of the Game’ module within the past two years. The qualification is valid for a period of up to 4 years.
Cost of attendance is $125 and any interested participants can book a spot for the upcoming Referees’ Course, by clicking on the following link:
