MINI SOCCER REFEREES

At present, the Mini Soccer Referee course is not a recognised qualification in the same way that the 11 a side course is. For this reason, our Referee Committee has taken a decision to put a hold on further Mini Soccer Only courses in Worcestershire until confirmation can be gained from The FA regarding the status of Mini Soccer Referees.

Should you wish to referee only mini soccer, you can still take the 11 a side course but then choose to referee only the younger age groups initially. You will be qualified to make the transition in 11 v 11 football when ready without the need to take further courses.
