Thanks for the reply! I don't even need to prioritise Sundays, it'll be an even split of Saturday/Sundays I imagine! Think it's probably just worth a go

Thanks for the reply. My ambition is to go as high as possible (why not I guess!) But I realise that getting to Level 4 would be hard anyway, although I don't want to set myself a ceiling at that point. It's not my only motivation of course, I could think of many more relaxing ways to spend...

Sounds good. As I said my main sorry was not getting enough experience in the more respected leagues around my level on Saturdays but if you think I'd get enough to be able to get promoted a few times then I see no problem!

It is very useful, thanks! I know that getting games with neutral ARs is hard and I don't expect to get them at the start, although I did think that there were some games in the pyramid (right at the bottom) that didn't use neutral ARs. I suppose it is possible that I could use Saturdays for the...

Thanks for the reply! I do get my days I'm meant to work for the month a day before the start of the month, so I could do that. My main thing is I don't want to do (or at least get stuck with often) "Sunday league" games which aren't part of the football pyramid if that makes sense? Of course I...

Hey everyone, I am now in a position where I could commit to doing the course. However, I am now doing a job which I don't see myself leaving for a few years which requires me to work at least half of weekend days, meaning that id miss out on typical Saturday afternoons a lot. Is it still worth...

Guess I'll be on my own then 😂

I agree I don't think they are, it's not a particularly easy job compared to playing! To be honest I hope I do too, it's just about making the first step!

I couldn't quite put my finger on why I want to to be honest. Maybe just through love of the game? I don't mind questions much to be honest, I just wasn't sure if there was a stigma against it in general that only "power freaks" want to referee

oh wow from most people I'd heard from they said it was 3/4 kids. Did you have people look at you funny when you said you were refereeing/doing a refs course?

Hey everyone, I posted 6 months back that I was looking to start refereeing and I'm in my final year of uni [I'm 21]. Back then I wasn't 100% sure on refereeing and now courses are starting to reopen again I'm still lacking the motivation to take the next step although I've done the online...

Yep, sadly looks like all local FAs have no courses until 2021 earliest! Looks like I'll either have to wait or sit it out. Thanks for the help anyway guys!

Wow, thanks a lot! The Amateur FA one looks like there's 3 sessions each Sunday and to get there for 10am on a Sunday I'd have to leave at 5:30 according to Google Maps, so looks like that one is off! Wiltshire one looks like it's over 4 hours each way too even leaving now sadly. Looking at...

I've emailed all my local FA's and every response I've had so far is that they're cancelled for the rest of the year. Maybe since the second wave is here they've been cancelled country wide

I don't have a car at the moment 😬. I'll ask around because an hour or so on the train isn't that bad but if I then had to do my 5 games up there too and then probably struggle getting games down here after itd probably be too much
