Course Description
The course aims to provide learners who have an interest in becoming a match official or in improving their skills and knowledge regarding refereeing with a basic level of understanding of how to referee. The course consists of an online module to be completed before the course, and a 1-day course with a WR Educator.
Upon successful completion of both the online module and face-to-face course, participants should be able to demonstrate basic officiating skills and to officiate aspects of the game in a modified context. Participants will get a chance to try their hand at officiating different aspects of the game or game situations.
Participants wishing to referee in the Swiss Leagues following the successful completion of this course, will only need to follow a brief introduction on match administration in the Swiss Leagues, without needing to complete the entire LCA course.
