My referee season is going to start again

I enjoyed a great holiday in West-Canada during my summer break, but I must admit that I do miss refereeing now. I’m really looking forward to the start of the season. No more “whistle stop”, let’s start with the (football and) referee season!

Last weeks, I checked the online referee portal a few times a day to see if the first matches of the season were already there. This week they finally arrived. No longer a white page after logging on, I got two appointments for August. The Dutch amateur season starts with two cup rounds in August and then competition from September.

My season starts with a u19 match and the next week I got a u15 match. Really looking forward to it.
