Appointment to games

[Brad]

So I recently passed my course (yesterday) and I am unsure on how to get appointed to games. I have been given a handbook with all leagues in and email addresses etc. any help will be greatly appreciated thanks.

Congratulations pal.

You need to email the referee appointment secretary of the leagues you used to officiate in.

You may have the contact details in your handbooks but if not you'll need to request them from your county, or ask at your local referees association meeting.

Hope that helps, and good luck.

Keep us posted how your first few games go.

Thanks! Yes I have the secretaries emails to all the leagues in my handbook. I am unsure about what to put in the email. Eg: my availability , age ?

Thanks a lot

Pretty much mate.

Name, age, contact details, availability, transport (i.e. If you can drive), how often you are typically free in a month etc.

Make it as friendly and professional as you can, as if you were applying for a job.

You need to make a good impression!
