University Transfers

what to do when you make the move

Every season thousands of referees up and down the country leave home and start their time at university.

This can often be in an unfamiliar area and county - so whether you are entering or leaving the county, at Cornwall FA we want to make this life changing transition as easy as possible by supporting your refereeing.

Continuing refereeing with a new County FA offers students a fantastic opportunity to integrate both within the local football community and university life. Refereeing also provides an income to support studies and social activities.


MOVING TO CORNWALL

Referees moving to study in Cornwall have a wide range of opportunities available in the grassroots game with football from youth to adult, small sided to vets, there's something for everyone.

Once you have confirmed your move we will be able to affiliate you with Cornwall FA - to discuss the options available or arrange affiliation please contact Referee Workforce Officer Stuart Kane on the details below.


LEAVING CORNWALL

Referees that are moving out of the County to study in other parts of the country will also need to go through the simple process of affiliating with their new County FA. Once this has been complete it will just be a case of carrying on with refereeing as normal.

To chat through the easiest way to carry on refereeing in other counties please contact Referee Workforce Officer Stuart Kane on the details below.
