The BDSFA are heating up the 2022 Female Football Week with dedicated female only Referee Courses. Expressions of interest are now open for all female participants wishing to move into the refereeing world. In 2022 the BDSFA are offering both Game Leader and the Level 4 referee course.
The Game Leader Course is a basic introduction into officiating MiniRoos matches within the BDSFA. This short theory based course outlines the modifications in MiniRoo Football and how progressions are implemented throughout the different age groups while giving some basic directions on how to referee, positions and rule interpretations. This course runs for approximately 1.5 hours and allows you to be appointed to MiniRoo matches within the BDSFA.
The Level 4 Referee Course allows members to officiate Under 12 and older matches. To undertake this training program you must be at least 13 years of age and have successfully passed the online Laws of the Game within the past two years. This training program is aimed at match officials officiating in junior and youth matches. The program consists of theory modules, practical sessions and practical mentoring in matches as a referee and assistant referee. Upon completion of all components referees will be officially qualified as a Level 4 Referee. The qualification is valid for a period of up to 4 years. Anyone who wants to referee 11 v 11 football at a local level. Every referee – even World Cup referees – start from here!
