Referees

Birmingham County FA registers over 2000 Referees each season.

Registration Forms are sent to ALL existing BCFA Match Officials to be returned by June 1st.

Forms already have the information we hold printed on them, so all you need to do is check, amend, sign and return your form and payment to us.  For Season 2011/2012 we have introduced 'Online Registration' and details of how to register online are included with the Registration Form.

If you do not receive or misplace your copy please contact us to arrange for a replacement. 

BCFA is happy to hear from Referees who wish to 'Get Back into Refereeing'.

If you have failed to register as a Referee with The Association for between two and five seasons you can not re-register until you have successfully undertaken and completed the Basic Referee Training Course written examination.  We may then register you at your former Level (up to Level 5 Senior County Referee) once we are satisfied with your competence.  If you have not registered for more than five seasons then you must attend and successfully complete the Basic Referee Training Course at which point you will registered as a Level 7 Junior County Referee.

All leagues are asked to submit a list of the Referees operating within their competitions in order that only registered referees are used.  You will be asked by the league to supply your current seasons registration number.
