Online learning resource will be emailed directly to you ahead of Block 2 starting.

• Introduction of the DNA of English Refereeing and the process of completing the course
• Overview of course expectations and commitments
• Basic outline of the Laws of the Game for Futsal
• Online video review

A mixture of practical and theoretical referee training, focusing on the key skills and techniques required to be a Futsal referee. This is then coupled with the practical application of Law and the different scenarios that can be faced in a game.

Some of the topics covered are:

• Signals & communication
• Fouls & misconduct
• Positioning & movement

To qualify as a futsal referee, you must complete 5 games or 3 festivals/central venues on County FA sanctioned leagues/competitions. E- certificates to be distributed via host CFA.

You will be required to attend a ‘call-back’ session after your 5 games, where you will have an opportunity to share experiences on the games you have refereed, including what has worked well and what you might do differently in the future. 

The ‘call-back’ session can be delivered online or face-to-face depending on the County FA.
