Referee Observers
Supporting the Development of Referees
Think you're alone out there? think again, we're always by your side
Our dedicated observers are here to offer advice and to support referees ambitions to maximize their potential.
The observer’s role is to provide match day support to the referee and assistant referees (when appointed) through immediate feedback and providing detailed written confirmation of a referees strengths and development areas based on current guidelines from The FA.
As a referee, it is true to say that you never stop learning and within Hampshire there is a dedicated observer workforce that can support you in your development and progression.

Observers are expected to complete a minimum of three observations per year, however most observers in the County complete more than this.
