How Do Referees Get Promoted?

who referees efl cup and fa cup games is that select group 2?

thanks for the vid. can not yet join reffing but will attempt soon...

All that work and the standard of refereeing in league one and two is absolutely the worst I've seen, making calls from 40/50 yards away

You now need 5 games as an AR from 7-6 as well (from someone who is currently doing it!). And 2A was merged into Level 1 last season and 2B just became 2

I wanted to be a referee at one point but I also wanted to be a keeper. So I decided on goalkeeper eventually.

with you being a ref can you explain the concussion sub rule to me please can you do the concussion sub at the same time as doing other subs like you would normally do without doing a concussion sub

I did Promotion 7-5 one season

I just passed my course a couple months ago and haven't done my first youth game yet. What do I do after my final whistle?

I wonder how this compares in the America because I’m thinking about getting into reffing

What there so much divisions in England?

Level 11 recess futball

Audio is horrible lad

Not a football referee but being an an official in ice hockey (have experienced it in both the UK and Sweden), cool to see the parallels and the differences!

-so many different levels in football, even one for non active refs! It’s been a while but UK changed to four recently, (hockey not being a major sport in the UK) and even in Sweden from youth reffing to top flight it’s 6 (7 if you include a special classification just for women for reffing the top women’s league )
- for the richest football league in the world, refs at the prem level seem really underpaid. The NHL in Canada and the states pays c. 220.000$ starting salary, going up to a half million with tenure. Granted an NHL season is 80 games long, but still. Even at level 7 for all the running you do, 40£ seems so low, as a linesperson doing 5th tier men’s hockey, that’s 50£ish not including perdiems and travel costs.

Some other tale as old as time stuff are true. At higher levels conditioning must be incredibly high, superb knowledge of the rules, and communication top knotch.

Am I from England? No
Do I wanna be a referee? No
Did I still watch this anyways? Of course 😂

There’s also one mandatory quality to have when refereeing other than what you listed:

A THICK SKIN!

Some “fans” just go WAY too far with youth refs or whatever, that some aspiring referees up and quit!!

This job wouldn't be for me but someone that has good fitness or used to play football would be a good job

I don’t know if this can even be called a step
But I’m at the step of saving every penny I have for the course I was paying the family Disney plus cancelled it today to get more I only get 5 pound a week from mother but it has been increased to 50 this week since I passed my exams and then

To be at the top you just have to favor Real Madrid

Love the video

The algorithm has done it again! Well explained, concise and easy to understand! Hopefully the referee version of Ben foster soon!

I'm blind, Im deaf, I want to be a ref

Im not from England but this video gives me a good understanding of how the pyramid works, so i hope you keep up the great work and get promoted😊

100k seems pretty low for top level refs tbh

Another great informative video mate! I've just got my Level 5 promotion. Hoping to go for my 4 this coming season, I think the only bit that will let me down is that DREADED fitness assessment

My aim was to get to level 6 asap but since doing the course I've realised at the age of 53, I'm happy at level 7, mainly refereeing kids games as and when, Is your aim to go as high as you can, Eric?

When I suggested you did this, I wasn't expecting cool animations. Production values coming along strong mate. That was a good summary. No doubt you'll be officiating at level 5 next season.

When you ref the champions league final, I’ll be able to say, I was here, let’s go Eric

They removed level 2B and 2A a year ago. Its now level 2 and National Group who cover NL Prem, FL2/1

What a brilliant video Eric!! So simple but one of the clearest and detailed roadmaps I've seen in a long time! Great work, love it!!

You can do it Eric, I believe in you. And just saying I’m a big fan!

Great video really interesting thanks for sharing!

Well done Eric. Great use of graphics to explain the process and just like your refereeing… you don’t hang around!
