July Virtual Referee Course

The Heartland GAA will be holding an online referee course next month, on July 14th, at 8:30pm. The training will be lead by Heartland Treasurer and long-time referee/trainer Brian Mathes.

This a great course for anyone interested in refereeing or even just wanting to get a better understanding of the rules. All skill and experience levels are welcome.

2020 Referee Training Course

We are planning to host our annual referee training course on Sunday, June 28th, at 12pm at Centerpoint Brewing, and should last until around 4.

Centerpoint Brewing Co.

This training is for you if: 

  • You need a refresher on how many steps you can take while holding the ball, or what’s an aggressive foul vs. a technical foul
  • You haven’t reffed before but you are interested
  • You just want to know the rules so you can better understand our games and you can question the refs calls

The course will start with a couple hours of the basics and then will be more advanced after lunch.  Lunch and possibly beer will be provided for attendees.   

Those who attend will not be required to ref this season, but it would be greatly appreciated if they did đŸ˜.   

 We will also offer ref shadowing (from a safe distance) for those who are interested in reffing but may be hesitant to step out there by themselves.
