Learn the Rules of the Game
At our clinics and workshops, referees-in-training are provided with an in-depth look at match officiating. These clinics often cover basic and advanced refereeing skills, such as positioning, signaling, and communication. Clinics typically include lectures, videos, group discussions, and on-field demonstrations, giving referees a comprehensive overview of the game and the necessary skills to excel.
More Focused Learning
Our Referee workshops often focus on a specific aspect of the game, such as positioning, fouls, or penalty kicks. Workshops provide referees with the opportunity to practice their skills in a safe, controlled environment, allowing them to make mistakes without fear of repercussions.
Great Preparation for the Actual Games
Referee clinics and workshops are invaluable in preparing referees for the field. They provide referees with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to make the best decisions during the course of a game. Referees who attend clinics and workshops are often better equipped to handle any situation that arises on the field, making them a valuable asset to any team.
