We are pleased to announce that this year's RA Development Weekend, will be taking place over the weekend of Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd July at Jury's Inn, Hinckley Island, Watling Street, Hinckley, LE10 3JA.
'Back to Basics' is the theme for the 2022 Referee Development Weekend from The Referees' Association.
Join us for a host of training sessions and development workshops, where we will be looking at a range of key topics aimed at improving your refereeing toolkit. There are many highlights, including a number of practical outdoor sessions on Saturday, interactive indoor workshops on Sunday, along with a Referee Awards Dinner. We will have a great range of high profile guest speakers, recognition awards and much more. There is something for everyone as in 2022 we learn to live with the COVID-19 pandemic.
After some of us refereeing sporadically over the past two years due to COVID, this year’s events focuses on some of the basics we may have forgotten and need to sharpen up on ahead of the new season
