Referees
We all rely on referees and match officials to keep the game flowing and fair.
Referees are crucial to the game of football, all the way from youth leagues on a Sunday morning to the FA Cup Final.
Herefordshire FA are dedicated to recruiting, producing, training and developing a highly motivated and talented workforce of FA qualified referees in the county. We want every game of football to be an enjoyable experience and realise that referees make a big contribution to this.
We are here to help both existing referees and those thinking of becoming a referee.

Development & Courses
We are always looking to develop our football referees. It doesn't matter if you are an aspiring ref looking to get qualified, or are an Level 4 referee aiming to continue climbing up the promotion ladder. We offer opportunities for development and progression to all officials.
Start out with the FA Basic Referee Course, then continue your journey with mentoring, workshops and the CORE programme.
