Registering as a referee with the Army FA

REGISTRATION

If you are a Regular or FTRS Serving Soldier you 
must be registered with the Army FA in order to referee. If you are a Reserve soldier, then if you only officiate for the Army FA then you are permitted to register with the Army FA, otherwise as you are officiating on civilian games you have to register with your local County and then affiliate to the Army FA.

1. For instructions on how to register please follow the guidance below:

It is a Football Association directive that ALL referees MUST have an in-date appropriate safeguarding qualification on their record in order to allow them to re-register for season 2022/23

Alongside this ALL officials who are refereeing youth football or are a Referee Mentor or Observer MUST also hold an in-date DBS in order to be compliant to the FA Safeguarding regulations.
It is your responsibility to check your own records on WGS and, where required, complete the relevant processes as follows:

SAFEGUARDING RE-CERTIFICATION

All Referees will complete a Safeguarding Workshop during their initial training.

Referees who completed a safeguarding recertification before the end of June 2022 under the old recertification cycle, their current qualification will remain valid for three years from the date of completion. However, from July 2022, when learners complete the Safeguarding Children Course or new recertification, their qualification will be valid for two years.

If you safeguarding needs renewing then complete the safeguarding workshop here (no fee)

DBS

If you need to update your DBS then please contact the Referee Secretary, Steve Clout, steve.clout@armyfa.com
