REFEREES COURSES:
The new Online Referees Course by the FAW, is currently priced at £70 which includes the cost of a full referee kit.
You will receive the kit when you pass the course and it will have the logo of your Area Association, plus all basic equipment to start your refereeing venture. Getting the kit from one supplier means every referee starts out looking identical. Same uniform if you like.
So, think again. Be brave, make that decision. Become a ref.
FOR REGISTERED REFEREES

Match Official Registration – Existing Match Officials
A guide to show match officials who have previously been registered on COMET how to renew their membership for the new season.
Renewing your Referee Registration
Referee registration needs to be renewed on an annual basis.
At the end of the season you will receive an email to let you know that your registration for that season has been terminated.
Ahead of the date when referee registration opens, you will receive a further email which will include links to the referee registration products that can be purchased through MyComet.
You will need to click on the link for the Area Association you wish to affiliate to, or the FAW link if you are an elite referee. If you referee across multiple areas, simply select the product relating to the Area you are likely to officiate within the most.
If you register early you may be eligible for an early-bird registration offer so please ensure you click on the correct link according to the date you are registering.
When you click on the link, you will be taken to the COMET log in screen.
Log in with your usual COMET log in details.
Adding the referee registration to your MyComet cart
When you have logged into COMET, you will be taken directly to the page of the relevant referee registration product.
You will need to tick the three check boxes to agree you wish to affiliate as a referee with the listed organisation, agree to abide by FAW rules and regulations, and confirm you have added your next of kin contact details to your referee profile (this is mandatory from the 2020/21 season in case of emergency – please see the Adding and Updating Personal Information user guide for further information).
When the boxes are ticked, click Add to cart.
