Hi Paul

 

[HullRef]

@Coops can you give me the details for the RA, I know it exists but I have a limited availability (half my weekends are spent in hull, the other half in Sheffield) and didn't know who to contact. I would love to start working my way up the ladder. I currently ref on the SDJSFL and also at the United academy, but would love the chance to ref other types of matches too. Can you point me in the right direction please?

Welcome to the site by the way

Morning,
Our meeting is this Thursday night and we start at 7.30 - Our meetings are held at the Carlton Club, 896 Gleadless Road, Sheffield, S12 2QF
Our guest speaker this month is Darren England Premier League & FIFA assistant referee who started refereeing in Sheffield County Senior League.
You are more than welcome to come to the meeting it would be great to see you. We can also point you in the right direction of who to contact to referee on other leagues.
How old are you?
Best regards
Paul Cooper
Chairman Sheffield RA

I'm only 14 so the only league that I am aware of that I can ref in is the SDJSFL, I will definitely come down to the meeting on Thursday. I know that there are representative matches (eg. Sheffield Schools Fa), how can I referee on those?
Thanks

I travel a lot during the week, so actually getting to an RA meeting midweek is a real issue for me, though I'd love to be able to get to one!

 

[Richthekeeper]

same here, i work away from home all week and only come home on weekends.

I'm gonna suggest at my next R.A. meet that they vary the date of the meeting each month rather than sticking to second tuesday / first thursday, whatever since the existing system clearly acts as a bar to some potential attendees

so if you don't hear from me again ........

I attend the meeting local to where I live. It tends to be quite poorly attended.

As for why that is, I don't know.

Is the meeting conducted in Welsh or English?
