The new football season is fast approaching and with the Premier League big boys spending mega bucks there is going to be some great talent on display - but it’s not just the players who will be in the limelight.
The man in black will also no doubt be under scrutiny, and if you find yourself unhappy with their performance, bellowing from the stands or at the TV screen that you could indeed do better, why not put your words into action by putting a whistle to your lips at Swindon Leisure Leagues?
Willing whistle blowers are wanted in Swindon as a community football league looks to recruit men – and women – in black.
Leisure Leagues – Europe’s biggest and most successful providers of 5 and 6-a-side football – are running courses for budding referees.
The league donates all its profits to charity and received praise from Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Prince Charles and Boris Johnson for its community efforts.
The induction evenings will take place at St Josephs School and Abbey Meads School on Sunday’s over the next few weeks and anyone interested in the free lessons can ring 0845 230 2340, email info@leisureleagues.net or visit www.leisureleagues.net
