Grab Your Whistle
Peter Lynch is the contact for anyone who would like to do the introductory referee course for ladies football.... known as "Grab Your Whistle". Even if you do not feel confident enough yet to referee competitive matches, this course will give you a solid grounding in all the rules and how they are applied. Perhaps after going through the course you may feel able to begin on the whistle...maybe at U-12 level games.
