How do I become a Referee? We all know only too well the most essential part of any GAA Fixture is the Referee, without Him or Her there is unlikely to be any game. Clubs must accept their responsibility to assist the Referee’s Committee to identify new recruits who are willing to take up the Whistle. The Challenge must be a joint approach if this campaign is to be a success. An Urgent Call goes out to any potential candidates to come forward. The first thing to do, is to contact your local Referee Administrator or Recruitment Officer who will give you details on upcoming GAA Referee Foundation Course in your local area, which you will have to complete before you can referee games. GAA Club Referee Course will take 2 nights to complete and will be delivered by GAA Referee Tutors.
