LGFA Grab Your Whistle Referee Academy 


Has been devised to develop aspiring referees aged 18 – 35 years within Ladies Gaelic Football and the latest programme will be delivered over the next 12 months by experts in the field.

 

The Programme consists of 6 Modules, 4 online webinars, 1 provincial webinar and 1 national session in a central location taking place from November 2021 to November 2022 which will focus on Technical, Physical, Mental and Tactical development whilst also providing practical referee experience on top of ongoing support and advice. 


Participants will also have to attend assigned games and events as part of compulsory practical experience.

Participants cannot be on a Provincial or National Referee Panel but must be currently refereeing in their county. Candidates will apply directly through the link on the LGFA website below and we will then get sign off on the application from the relevant county board.
