Hello boys and girls
I made a thread a few months ago regarding preparing for the course, and now I have started my course (well two weeks ago) and I am really enjoying it. We did a mock test before the course started and I passed it so I am confident now.
Don't really know why I want to do this, all my mates think I am crazy, but I am looking forward to it and look forward to discussing my games with you guys!
I presume this thread is allowed?
Cheers, Peter

Congrats on joining the 3rd team. I started at 14, and I'm now entering my 12th year. It's a great way to stay involved, develop as a person, and depending on where you are, make some decent money.

Good to see you here Peter - as I said to you on the other place, Birmingham County has a very good support network for new officials.
There's always this place as well!
Best of luck with the rest of the course

Cheers Tim. How far have you gone in them 12 years? 
I'm a grade 7 in the USSF standards, which is much different than 7 in England. I'm working towards my 6, which is a 1-3 year process in the U.S. What can I do with a grade 7? All youth games, adult recreational, adult amateur, in some areas I could also be an assistant in semi-pro games.

Firstly, welcome to the world of refereeing! I hope you enjoy your journey. Refereeing any sport can be really rewarding. There will ofcourse be those days when your running round a pitch on a Sunday morning wondering why your even bothering, but it is worth it!
Secondly - welcome to the forum! There are a lot of experienced members on here who offer some great advice. Listen and learn from them and you will improve as a referee.
I started at 13 refereeing adult mens, so atleast you know that in the UK you won't have that to worry about! I know what its like being the youngest one out there, but it can work in your favour as well. Feel free to PM/email me if you want to ask anything
