There's not a lot of summer football played in my area, at least at the level I referee at. What do you get up to during the close season?

Enjoy the break?
Other pastimes?
Search around for any game that's going?

I take a break. Spend time with my family and just go running as that's what I enjoy doing.

I'll start thinking about football again in July..The only exception to that is fitness tests and meetings.
 
Absolutely bin off football for an entire month. Won't even contemplate meetings, small-sided tournaments, group training, e-mails, etc until July 1st.
 
I’ve blocked out the whole of June to concentrate on enjoying the weather with my wife and daughter!

But… now that my promotion is confirmed I’m itching for the season to start again!

Which fitness test you doing? Getting it done in June? Be some good August appointments if you are on the list in time 👍

Yes mate, 19th June at Brickfields. Get it out the way early in the hope of an FA Cup middle 👍🏻
 
In my case this off-season not a great deal. Got injured in March, tried to manage it and made it worse, so been out for 2 months and only just allowed to start doing some strengthening on it.

Light cycling only at the moment, hoping to start running soon but likely too late for June fitness test. July one closest to me is whilst I'm away, so either it's a long drive to one in July or I wait for August.
 
My season starts now. I missed the April start of the season and did my first matches last night - since October!

I’ve got a few weeks to get a few more in before the July break.

Metatarsal madness is still a concern. Fingers crossed!
