The FA are concerned about the number of persons who attend Referees Basic Training courses and then never "take up the whistle". Accordingly the courses are only for persons who intend to referee on a regular basis.
With the added problem of having to link the courses to a Child Protection Course and the related CRB checks it is unlikely that District FAs will be able to run courses on their own initiative as has been done in the past.
Should Harrogate FA receive a minimum of 10 persons, who state that they intend to referee on a regular basis, a course will be run locally at a date to be agreed.
Persons wishing to attend the course should contact Steve Rhodes at WRCFA - stephen.rhodes@wrcfa.com
