Before becoming a licenced Official, you must complete a minimum 4 practical competition experiences (ie attend 4 matches) where you will help officiate alongside qualified & knowledgeable officials. We need our trainee Officials to progress to licenced Officials in order meet UKA requirements. Our own Officials will be with you every step of the way.

What are the Steps in becoming a Licenced Official?
Step 1
Get in touch so that we can get you booked onto a Level 1 course. The length of the courses range from a half to a full day.
We are hoping to offer local courses in March before the Athletic season starts in the spring and the cost of the course will be covered by us – all we ask is that you attend some matches as mentioned below.
Remember, you will always have at hand someone to give you guidance and support.
