The LGFA Grab Your Whistle Referee Academy has been devised to develop aspiring referees aged 18 – 45 years within Ladies Gaelic Football and this will be delivered in 2024.

This is an initiative welcoming referees from all counties to take part, male and female but encouraging at least one female from each county.

The course consists of 5 contact days, first day and final day will take place in a Dublin venue, with the remaining dates taking place online. There will be a focus on Technical, Physical, Mental and Tactical development whilst also providing practical referee experience on top of ongoing support and advice. Participants will have to attend assigned games and events as part of compulsory practical experience.
We will also run an online mini-series covering three topics with interaction with experienced referees.

Who Can Apply?

Participants cannot be on a Provincial or National Referee Panel but must be currently refereeing in their county and have a minimum of 1 years’ experience as a referee. Candidates apply directly by clicking this link and we will then get sign off on your application from your county board. All candidates must be committed to attend all workshops as attendance is compulsory throughout.

If you wouldn’t mind circulating the above information to clubs or relevant people who would be suited to this, it would be grealty appreciated.
