Fitness Training for Referees

Suffolk referees can take advantage of a weekly training plan designed to improve and maintain fitness.

The training plan will incorporate a weekly training agenda, as well as offering tips and advice. It is designed as a guide to help prepare for the season ahead. During the season a number of practical workshops will be setup to give every match official the opportunity to interact with other referees and colleagues.

Initially the sessions are designed to prepare Referee’s for the season ahead. Once the season is underway the plans will change to incorporate different aspects such as speed, strength, intensity and endurance training.
