The workshops will involve both Classroom and Practical training with the following subjects covered:

If you would like to reserve a place at one of the workshops please contact Ross Joyce, Referee Development Officer – ross.joyce@northridingfa.com or 01642 717774 by Monday, 08 August 2016.

We have limited places on each workshop so we would advise booking your place ASAP to avoid disappointment.

Please note that the dress code for the workshops is sportswear, i.e. a tracksuit, but you should bring a change of training kit for the outdoor sessions.

The outdoor sessions will take place on grass, and therefore you should bring football boots as per a normal match day.

Please ensure that you bring your own flags and a whistle. (We will have a limited supply for those who do not have an AR flag)

Given that the weather is likely to be warm, please ensure that you bring a water bottle, or some form of drink, in order to stay hydrated and alert throughout the evening.
