Referees provide a vital function in servicing all levels of the game. Refereeing is also a fantastic hobby and is a genuine alternative to playing the game.
Whether you have aspirations to referee at the highest level or to referee locally, there is a place for you. From the structured education programme and coaching / mentoring resources, there are excellent support structures in place to develop referees and a thriving social aspect too.
A great way to stay involved in the game, while keeping fit and shared camaraderie with your referee panel and mentors.
Hear from some of our national referee panel (sponsored by Ballygowan), in the video below, and fill in the form here, and one of our referee development staff will be in contact.
