Essex FA Referee Development Practical Workshops

This season, Essex County FA have decided to do things a little differently in relation to the In Service Training provided for Essex match officials. In conjunction with the Referees Youth Council, they have put in place a number of practical referee development sessions, which will take place throughout Essex during the close season.

These practical workshops have been designed in conjunction with the members of the Essex FA Referees Youth Council with the aim to provide our local match officials with the opportunity to attend a high quality referee development session for FREE through these local practical workshops.

Each session has been put together to enhance each referee's ability and assistant referee skills.

All of these sessions will be FREE to attend for every registered Essex FA match official however as they expect each event to receive a lot of interest, match officials will be required to book their place as outlined below.
