The Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA) in collaboration with the CIFA Referees’ Department will be conducting a Beginners Referee Course from June 19, 2012 to June 28, 2012.

The CIFA is looking for persons interested in becoming certified referees and assistant referees to officiate in local football matches.

Referees perform a vital role in the global sport of football, ensuring safety, fairness, equality and enjoyment. With the growth in football’s popularity, particularly among women and youth, the demand for officials is always increasing. Joining the ranks of a CIFA referee can be your gateway to the FIFA international panel of referees.

The beginners Referee Course is open to all interested men and women from the age of sixteen and who maintain a reasonable fitness level.

Classroom sessions will be administered on June 19th – 26th with revision scheduled for June 27th. The theory examination will be conducted on Thursday June 28, 2012.

All sessions are scheduled to run between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. each day at the George Town Primary School.
