LEVEL ONE REFEREE COURSE (ONLINE VERSION)

This session will be about 3 hours in duration and includes the last couple of modules (including an outdoor session), discussion on other parts of the course and refereeing in general and a test on the Laws of the Game (LOTG). You need to have completed the online modules before the date of the offline part for which you registered.
