I played soccer until my mid twenties but unfortunately due to a knee injury I had to give up playing. I lost interest in soccer for a period and only when my son started playing the game competitively that I returned and took up coaching Underage.
I had an interest in refereeing and as there was a shortage of referees I felt that I could contribute to the game in that way so I did the course.
Since then I have developed a strong interest in refereeing and I have continued to take great enjoyment from the game and from refereeing.
