Lichfield & District Referees Association
Welcome to the Lichfield & District Referees Association Website. Our Association was formed in the late 1950’s and we have a vibrant corner of referee’s from all standards of refereeing aged between 14 and 79. We have members who officiate in the Conference and one who is an Assistant Referee in the Premier League. But mostly our members are active on the local leagues.
We currently hold our monthly meetings on the first Thursday evening of every month where we chat about all aspects of football and refereeing. The meetings commence at 8pm and finish around 10pm. Our meetings are held at Lichfield City FC, Brownsfield Road, Lichfield, just off Eastern Avenue. Meetings are now very informal social occasions as the committee deal with all the business on a separate evening. Very often we have a guest speaker who is invited to talk to us about their thoughts on football, refereeing and experiencies they may have had.
The Society can hold a number of social events over the course of the season including five-a-side football, cricket, a christmans sports quiz, and a car treasure hunt.
Please feel free to contact Lichfield & District Referees Association by e-mail on lichfield_ra@hotmail.com or phone one of the listed numbers.

Do You Want to Be a Football Referee?
Do you want to reach for the heights of Wembley or just participate in Local football?
All referees start at this point with the Basic Referees Training Course.
The course is run by, very experienced, qualified Football Association Instructors, and is held at Chasetown Specialist Sports College which is very close to the mini roundabouts in the centre of Chasetown. It normally takes 8-10 weeks of one evening per week to cover everything.
