Welcome!

Welcome to the Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre Districts' Referees Association. We are the only referees' society in our area and we offer advice and support for football referees at all levels of the game, at all ages and experience.

We meet every Monday night during the football season at Blackpool Collegiate High School, Blackpool Old Road from 7pm to 9pm. We are lucky to have a number of FA Licensed Instructors and FA Registered Instructors on our training team. All sorts of football and refereeing topics are delivered in a variety of different ways, and always involve maximum audience participation and are intended to be both informative and entertaining.

If you want to become a referee, we also provide instruction in the Laws of the Game. We run training courses during the season. For more information please click here.

We hope you enjoy our new look website. Have a look at 'The Whistler' our monthly magazine or look at our archive, with our history and photographs of members.
