Re-Registration
REFEREE REGISTRATION WITH DERBYSHIRE FA
From May 5th 2017, referees in Derbyshire are able to re-register for the following season.
We are encouraging all referees to register in the close season because you will not be allowed to officiate any games until you have done so.
Any referees that registered last season, including all new referees, should now be able to access The FA’s Whole Game System (WGS) to re-register for upcoming season.
We urge all referees to use this system to re-register online, as WGS is also the new on-line process to submit misconduct reports to the County FA.
Whole game system
- You can be unregistered for up to two seasons and then just re-register as long as your CRC and Safeguarding certificates are valid.
- If you have been unregistered for between two and five seasons you are required to successfully pass a Laws of Game test (arranged by The County FA) to make sure you are up to date on law before being able to register again plus complete The FA CRC and Safeguarding criteria.
- If you have been unregistered for five or more seasons you will be required to book onto the new practical referee course and complete The FA CRC and Safeguarding criteria to register again.
Once registered with Derbyshire FA you can then apply to join any local leagues that are suitable for your ability. It is for the referee to make direct contact with any league that they wish to apply to. It is free to join a League but you will have to apply in order to do so.
