Introducing... Midweek Matchday Live!
We are delighted to announce that, in addition to our Online Development Group for Referees, we have launched an extensive online summer development programme called ‘The Midweek Matchday – Live’.

Already confirmed, the first eight sessions include guests such as; the Premier League’s Graham Scott, Football League Official, Will Finnie and Women's Super League & Women’s Championship match official Chloe-Ann Anderson.
We're also delighted to confirm that Berks & Bucks FA Level 2 Referee, Sunny Gill and a range of referee Tutors will be on hand to provide development points and updates.
