Refereeing is not all about issuing players with red or yellow cards. Without officials the Beautiful Game would and could not take place. From local park football on a Sunday morning to the FA Cup Final, all football needs referees.
Anyone can become a referee. All that is required is a passion for the game. You can qualify as a youth referee at 14 years of age or alternatively simply continue your own personal enjoyment of the game when your playing days are over.
There are many levels of referees, from Level 10 to International Level, to accommodate everyone from youth referee to those at the top level.
Berks & Bucks County FA stongly advise all referees to become members of the Berks & Bucks Referees Association. Links of which can be found to the right of this page.
