The availability of referees is one of the most important factors in getting games played for our boys, girls and seniors.

If you are 16 and over, refereeing is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to your community, learn a new skill, and even earn a few quid!

The FAI are now putting on new courses. These are short on-line course (4 hours) or (6 hours). The fee will be reimbursed to all persons who complete the courses and actively start to ref!

- Thursday 2nd November 2023 from 11am to 3pm (4 Hrs) in the conference room in the FAI H/O Abbotstown. This will suit many people including 16+ year olds. This 4-hour course will allow these potential Referees to ref u11’s games . Once they have built up games & experience, they can take part in a 2 hr Zoom’ Course in order to progress to the u12 upwards fixtures. Cost for this course is ‘Free’. Note: This week is the mid-term school break.

- Saturday 4th November 2023 from 10am to 4pm in the conference room in the FAI H/O Abbotstown. This 6-hour course will allow potential Referees to officiate at games from 12 upwards.
