A foundation course for new GAA referees commences on Wednesday Feb 11 in Thurles. It will take place over 4 nights – Feb 11, Feb 16, Feb 18, Feb 23.
Getting involved and becoming a referee is an ideal way of staying involved on match day. Like players preparing for the match, you must also put in preparation; knowledge of the rules along with being physically and mentally fit. Ability to remain calm, courteous, having moral courage, dealing with unfair criticisms is another aspect that the referee must excel in. Refereeing is very rewarding and over the years Tipperary has always produced some top class officials at both County & National level and continues to do so.
If you are interested in completing this course, please download the application form from the Tipperary GAA website. Otherwise you can contact Philip Kelly secretary of the referee recruitment committee at 087 2863683 or e mail at Referee.recruitment.tipperary@gaa.ie for further details.
