The Jersey Football Referees' Association is open to all football referees in the Island of Jersey. We have around 30 active and 10 "slightly less-active" members who officiate on the Jersey Football Combination (Mens, Ladies and Youth leagues) and are also appointed to officiate in Jersey Football Association and FA Cup & Vase competitions.

Our meetings, to which all members and non-members are welcome. are held monthly, usually on the fourth Monday in the month, starting at 7.30pm. They are usually held in the Meeting Room on the 2nd floor at Springfield Stadium. For directions, click here: http://www.jerseyfa.com/AboutUs/Directions/

Fitness Tests

On behalf of the Jersey FA Referees Committee, all referees are invited to attempt the fitness test or test their fitness levels for the coming season.

Referees wishing to be considered for senior JFA appointments and/or promoted to level 5 should complete the fitness test. This comprises a minimum run of 2200m (5 and a half laps) in 12min, then following a short rest, 2 x 50m sprints in 7.5 sec each. Officials wishing to be considered as referee or senior AR for inter-insular and off-island appointments should complete the run to 2500m (6 and a quarter laps) plus the sprints.

If anyone wishes to take the test, or has any other questions, please contact a member of the JFA Referees Committee (Mick Blampied, Andy Bradshaw, Andy Cox, Paul Daniel, Mark Le Cornu, Gill Morgan or Charlie Tostevin).

News from a foreign correspondent

The following e-Mail was received on 14th August from our past member Conor Campbell, who has been working in Columbia for the past couple of years: "Long time no speak and I hope that all is well in Jersey and you're looking forward to the new season. Just thought I'd drop you an email to let you know that yesterday I passed the FIFA fitness test so from now on, I'll be a level C referee in Colombia which is the first step on the professional ladder. I'll hopefully send some photos from my first match in due course! All the best! Cheers Conor". Congatulations Conor and we will watch this space.
