Referee Transfers
Moving to Berks & Bucks or moving away?
WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE YOU'RE PROGRESSING BUT SAD TO SEE YOU GO...
If you still want to be connected with us then we can help you and help you continue refereeing in another county....it's never really the end.
Whether you're arriving into Berkshire or Buckinghamshire, or departing for another county, be it for studies or work, we are here to help make your transition as smooth as possible.
If you're are planning on moving to Berks & Bucks from another county and wish to continue refereeing, then please make it known at your earliest convenience by contacting the Berks & Bucks FA Referee Department by email to Referees@Berks-BucksFA.com, we will then contact your current County FA to make them aware of the transition and that you use to officiate in Berks & Bucks.
If you are planning on leaving Berks & Bucks and wish to continue refereeing in another county, the same process still applies. You must inform the new local County FA that you wish to be registered with them. You can do so by email or by contacting the relevant County FA; please click here for contact details.
University Or Education Setting
We would also recommend informing your University and/or Academic Institution that you are a qualified referee as there may be opportunities to develop further within the University such as Referee Activator roles. Find your sport department at the University and get in touch!
